It's all-out family warfare now that Ryoki's mother has dished some serious dirt about big brother Shinogu's past, resulting in Hatsumi's heavenly bro leaving on bad terms. Hoping to dissuade him from forever severing his ties with the Narita household, Hatsumi swings by Shinogu's pad, but not before dropping in on Ryoki and totally making his day (that is, until he finds out that she's still talking to her bro, and you know how he feels about that). Infuriated that Hatsumi still has the audacity to even think of any man but his wonderful self, Ryoki demands that Hatsumi choose between him and Shinogu. Hatsumi's about to get all wishy-washy - big surprise there - but Ryoki comes up with the perfect way to solidify their relationship... by running off to Izu together!

It's official--Hatsumi and Ryoki are no longer a couple...kinda. To avoid seeing her bossy (and totally former) b-friend, Hatsumi agrees to hang out at hunky (and totally adopted) big bro Shinogu's place. Hatsumi's dad stops by to fill the kids in on the Machiavellian scheme he and Ryoki's father were embroiled in, but this only reinforces Shinogu's resolve to sever his familial ties to the Narita household--and to convince Hatsumi to see him as a man, not a big brother. Later, Azusa gets more than an earful from an extremely unapologetic Mr. Tachibana, and Ryoki all but hooks up with another lovely lady...kinda. All this and more in Miki Aihara's Hot Gimmick, one of the most talked-about shôjo manga in both America and Japan! 184 pages

Normally, most teenage girls would be beside themselves with joy to have not one but three hot-as-they-want-to-be men in their lives, and if that were all that mattered, Hatsumi Narita would have been crowned Queen of Happiness a long time ago. But such is not the case. Her hunky childhood friend (now an über-studly male model) has tried to ruin her life on several occasions, her dreamy older (and adopted) brother wants to run off with her, and her cute on-again, off-again ad infinitum boyfriend continues to be the world's biggest jerk. Who on earth will she finally choose? Or will Hatsumi remain hopelessly hapless to the bitter end? All this and more in the heart-pounding final volume of Miki Aihara's Hot Gimmick, one of the most talked-about shôjo manga in both America and Japan! Length: 192 pages
