Missions of Love

In Missions of Love, a high school student who secretly writes a popular romance novel online finds her double life challenged when the school's most popular boy discovers her secret and blackmails her into helping him with his own romantic pursuits. Published by Kodansha USA from 2012 to 2019, this 19-issue series is defined by Ema Toyama's expressive artwork, which brings a sharp, comedic tension to the story's central power struggle. It stands out as a clever twist on the shojo romance genre, exploring themes of identity, control, and the blurred line between fiction and reality.
