The Wallflower— The Light That Shines Through the Darkness

Overview

It's a gorgeous, spacious mansion, and four handsome, fifteen-year-old friends are allowed to live in it for free! There's only one condition—that within three years the guys must transform the owner's wallflower niece into a lady befitting the palace in which they all live! How hard can it be? Enter Sunako Nakahara, the agoraphobic, horror-movie-loving, pockmark-faced, frizzy-haired, fashion-illiterate recluse who tends to break into explosive nosebleeds whenever she sees anyone attractive. This project is going to take more than our four heroes ever expected: it needs a miracle!

1. The Light That Shines Through the Darkness

Four high-school bishōnen, Kyohei Takano, Takenaga Oda, Yukinojo Toyama, and Ranmaru Morii, have made a deal with their landlady, Mine Nakahara: if they succeeded in transforming her niece into a proper lady they can live in their home rent free, but if they fail the rent will triple. The niece, Sunako Nakahara, is poorly dressed with bad skin and no fashion sense whose bangs cover her eyes. She is also a heartbroken horror-fan who has spent two years as a hikikomori after being told she was ugly when she confessed to her middle-school crush.
