You wanted to learn about how to get a girlfriend, because you didn't have one, and you didn't want to waste the time for anyone in school that you knew, so the only option was to look it up in a book. Of course, the only stories involving romance at the library you came to stop by at was the manga on the shelves.
Manga was a format of storytelling from Japan that shows Japanese cartoony images to tell a story, and have it posted backwards according to the position the panels are going when you read about them alone. They are basically just comic books, but instead of having the pages go from left to right, the pages go from right to left while the rest reveals settings set in Japan, due to the lands, food, and weapons. As you look through the romance side of manga, you notice the titles written on the covers.
