[edit] Plot

Binetsu Shoujo is about a girl named Rina who had a crush on a boy she usually sees in the train station every morning before 8 am. At the start of the manga, Rina had to sum up her courage to ask the boy's name. It was so unfortunate, however, that her mother picked that time to shout her name and wave the flute she forgot at home. Embarrassed, she decided to hide from her mother and was saved by a boy with black hair, who turned out to be a friend of her crush! Later, she received a VIP ticket from her crush, with a name on it, 'Hiro Usami', for a live band concert. She was so happy that she was finally able to know the boy's name.
