Shinshi Doumei Cross by TANEMURA Arina

English Name: The Gentlemen's Alliance Cross
Summary: In return for a business loan of 50 million yen, the prestigious Kamiya family gave their daughter Haine away to the Otomiya family. Haine, now an Otomiya, is appointed to the student council of the exclusive Imperial Academy, a private school for the aristocracy. Even though Haine is of proper lineage to be on the council, she finds herself struggling to find her place among the many secrets of its elite members, especially those of the president who holds her heart--Shizumasa Tōgū, aka "the Emperor."
Haine has been in love with Shizumasa Togu from the day she read the picture book he wrote as a child! She enrolls the Imperial Academy to be close to him and is accepted as a member of the student council! But with that dark secrets start to reveal them selves! Why does "The Emperor" act differently? Is Haine really in love with Shizumasa? Why did her father sell her and why doesn't her mother write to her anymore?

I have two sides when reading this manga, whether I like it or not. Some parts are hilarious and some parts are disappointing. At the end, I didn't like the main character, Haine. The most part that I was really annoyed was when Haine said "I have made up my mind. I will marry both of them." But in the end Tanemura Arina let Shizumasa go away. I mean which guy who would share her woman with another man? Worst, when the "another man" is your own brother. That's stupid. I enjoyed reading this manga, but there were some parts that made me want to stop reading. About Maora and Maguri? I know they are both men, somehow I think they are cute, so I'm fine with it. There are a lot of characters, and surprisingly, they are connected, it made this manga unique. Well, in the end, this manga is not bad after all. The pluses of this manga, I think you guys would likely to read it by yourself. About the artworks? They are fine and I like it.
