Obnoxious Hero-kun: The Complete Collection

In this hilarious Boys’ Love hit that originally began as a webcomic on the Tapas Media digital platform, a ridiculous playboy and the sharp-tongued dude in his class get (literally) tied up in a romance that shocks everyone–including themselves!

800+ pages, rated Mature.

His hair shines brighter than the sun, his smile is impossible to resist, and in order to talk to him, you’ll have to get past his harem of loving girlfriends. He’s Hiro, and he’s heartstoppingly perfect in every way.

But there’s one person who’s completely unimpressed with Hiro—Takashi, a sullen, dark-haired boy who has no friends. Why should Hiro care if Takashi doesn’t like him? He couldn’t care less about Takashi, and he’s definitely not staring a hole through the back of Takashi’s weirdly handsome head, or agonizing over Takashi’s surprisingly luscious lips.

So…why does Hiro find himself tied up in Takashi’s bed?

The hit boy’s love webcomic tale of Hiro and Takashi’s hilarious relationship, uncensored and collected entirely in print for the first time!
