“Go around 100 times and cry out for love” is the story of Iroha, a high school girl who is the daughter of a former company president, and Kyogoku, the heir of a wealthy family who always causes trouble. Obeying her late grandfather's orders, Kaba spends her days busy studying and working part-time, but due to lack of sleep, she falls down the stairs. The person who fell under his care was Kyogoku, a classmate who tends to get into trouble. Kaba, who wants to remain a scholarship student in order to be exempt from tuition fees, returns home without saying that he pushed her down. Then, the next day, Kyogoku, who had broken a bone, orders him to become an obedient and smart dog...
In a giveaway project to commemorate Ike's 15th anniversary as a painter, 15 people will be randomly selected to receive an acrylic stand featuring original illustrations from Ike's past serialized works. As a double chance, postcards will be given to 135 people from among those who were not selected in the lottery.
The color article features a roundtable discussion between Ririko Tsujita and Akimoto Akimoto as part of the 3rd installment of LaLa's 50th anniversary project, and there is also a giveaway project in which 3 people will be entered into a lottery to win colored paper with their autographs. In addition, a collaboration one-shot titled ``Substitute☆First Kiss'' was published, with Tsujita as the original author and Akimoto as the artist. It's a slapstick romantic comedy about a high school girl who reunites with her first love and an earthbound bird spirit who has regrets in this world.
The appendix of this month's issue is the second set of frame stickers designed with famous scenes from LaLa's works, and a manga booklet containing 5 one-shot works drawn by LaLa's new stars. In addition, a giveaway project of acrylic coasters in conjunction with volume 7 of Emiko Nakano's ``Fiancée wa Dote Ai no Pretense'' is being developed. The May issue of LaLa, which will be released on March 24th, will feature a conversation between Hari Tokeno and Ken Saito as part of the 4th installment of LaLa's 50th anniversary project.
