Key Events

With Valentine's Day approaching, Minako Aino eagerly anticipates the seasonal chocolates and joins her friends in mapping out which shops to raid. When one friend asks whether she has anyone particular in mind to receive a gift, Minako mentally sorts through the men she knows and rejects nearly all of them, since some have passed away, others are already taken, and the rest simply fall short of her standards. Pressed to name who she genuinely wants to give chocolate to, once obligatory gifts are set aside, she arrives at a startling conclusion: there is not a single boy she actually likes.

Notes
