L-DK

L-DK, a 24-issue romance manga series published by Egmont Ehapa from 2011 to 2018, explores the complicated cohabitation of two high school students forced to live together after a misunderstanding. Written and illustrated by Ayu Watanabe, the series is a staple of the shōjo genre, known for its sweetly tense dynamic between the studious heroine and her popular, seemingly aloof classmate. Its sustained popularity helped define early-2010s shojo romance, balancing comedy, drama, and the classic "close quarters" trope.
