高嶺と花 [Takane to Hana]

In this long-running shōjo manga from Hakusensha, a high school girl is forced into an arranged marriage meeting with a wealthy, arrogant heir—only for their relationship to begin with mutual contempt and slowly evolve into something far more complicated. Written and illustrated by Yuki Shiwasu, Takane to Hana (2015–2020) is a slow-burn romantic comedy that plays with class differences and age gaps, earning a devoted readership for its sharp banter and genuine character growth. Its 18-issue run stands as a modern classic of the genre, beloved for defying the typical power dynamics of its premise.
