Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms

is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Ran Kuze. The series began serialization in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine in May 2021, with its chapters collected in 11 volumes as of September 2023. The series is licensed in English by Kodansha USA. Plot Mona Kawai, a popular queen bee, is happy that everyone at her high school adores her, except for the new transfer student Medaka Kuroiwa, who looks angry all the time, and won't even look at her. Mona then makes it her mission to make him fall in love with her, but the more she tries, and the more Medaka resists, the more she finds herself falling in love with him. It turns out that Medaka is a monk-in-training who is forbidden by his temple masters from falling in love, but he finds it difficult to resist Mona's advances. Other girls join in either as Mona's rivals or supportive friends. Characters Mona is a beautiful and friendly second-year high school girl who is originally from Osaka Prefecture. She prides herself on being the queen bee of the school, charming all the boys, until she meets Medaka. She then tries to win him over but ends up falling in love with him, although she denies the latter part. She occasionally reverts to her Kansai dialect when flustered. She is easily jealous of other girls who vie for Medaka's attention. Most of the story is told from her perspective. Issue 2021 No. 29 of Weekly Shonen Magazine has pictures of Enako cosplaying Mona as well as characters in other series.
