Welcome to Imperial Academy, a private school for the aristocracy. This academy have special ranking system among the students, depend on student's wealth. There're copper, silver, gold. The only student ranked gold is the leader of student council, called "Koutei". The last is Platinum, this rank is for Koutei's couple.

Otomiya Haine, a girl that assign as one of student council member, find herself trying to find her own place among the other members, especially Tougu Shizumasa, the one she have her eyes on, as known as Koutei of the academy. Before Haine even realized, she already become one of member council, that keep many secrets about theirselves, and about Haine herself too.

My Thought :
Good manga, have interesting twist of story, especially when new main characters appear. Haine, the heroine, holds many unrevealed secrets, this's one of plus point of this manga. Interesting to follow and not too boring. A must read for shoujo-readers, who like romance. The artwork magnificent, as I expect from Arina-sensei. This's the longest manga of Arina-sensei's, since the longest manga Arina-sensei made was 7 volumes. Too bad there's no sign about this series being produced as an anime.
