Despite the male friends surrounding you, I don't want any man to realize how sweet you are. I'm always thinking of you...

So goes Jealous BF Yukihito's thoughts on our heroine Kaede from Love in Full Blossom, Honda Natsumi's inaugural work that 3L released before 2010 closed. The romance shorts compiled in the antho (originally Hanazakari de Koi Shiteru) first appeared in Cheese! and beyond Possessive Lover, generate these Popular Boy, Tomboy, Studious Character, Tutor, Older Female/Younger Male, Rich Guy/Poor Girl, Appearance Different from Personality, Infirmary and Tsundere tags. (Bishounen is a foregone conclusion.)

GET!

I recommend Love in Full Blossom as a GET!. I give none of the stories—Love in Full Blossom, I Love You, Sweetheart, Summer, a girl and a beast and SOS Candy—a grade lower than 7 of 10 ♡. (Of course, your mileage may vary; I'm not exactly impartial when it comes to Honda Natsumi manga.)

This is shoujo smut and as such, meant for the Dewasa or Mature reader.

3L published Honda Natsumi-sensei's Love & Noise! in March 2010. Her other works include Guilty Pleasures Hizamazuite Ai o Chikae, Ikenie no Koiwazurai (which contains the guiltiest of Guilty Pleasure one-shots Binetsu Snow), Kiken na Honey and surprisingly, the supernatural troped Shinigami no Torisetsu.

Boys Girl 1 of 3+ by Nagayama Ei

I picked up this series debut, having mistaken it for a Hanaya En manga (I lurved Can I Hug You). Still, it serves the purpose of completing this 3L post.

Kokona hates, detests, loathes—insert your SAT vocabulary word here—guys. Before school starts, she accidentally saves a ‘Sweet Girl.’ The erstwhile victim turns out to also be Misaki Hiromu, a boy who attends the same high school.

Kokona has the bad habit of knocking the lights out of any guy who touches her, but for some strange reason, she holds her punches when it comes to Misaki...

In addition to chapters 1-3 (the series is ongoing in Betsucomi), Boys Girl also contains Pasti akan bertemu lagi, pacaran yuk (We will surely meet again, let's go out) and Orang yang kukejar (The one I'm chasing).

3L has also published Nagayama Ei-sensei's Because I'm Falling In Love, Let's Sing for Love and Love Rookie.
