Published in Indonesia as Chain of Pearl and King's Another Work by Tiga Lancar Comic/3L
Thanks to Keito-senpai's ‘interference,’ club manager Hisa and soccer ace Sakyou meet and fall in love. Which dumps Keito out in the cold and forces him to toss the two out of the soccer club. The broken-hearted Keito also gets into a fight, which prompts Hisa to part with Sakyou and restore whatever harmony there was before she came in.
Chain of Pearl 2 of 2 also includes two Minami Kanan one-shots: Unconditional Love Formula,
in which not-quite bright Ayumi bribes bishie brainiac Tachibana Kouya to tutor her in physics, and The Rumored Natori-kun
in which Ai discovers that the guy she's crushing on is none other than the eponymous player Natori-kun. (Read more substantial synopses over at »Baka-Updates Manga.)

3L launches King's Another Work, Fujinaka Chise's Manga-ka, Rich Boy, bossy boyfriend
Ousama no Ura Shigoto first serialized in Sho-Comi.
Mayu nearly faints when learns the true identity of Isshiki-sensei, the manga-ka who illustrates her favorite comic. He is her egotistic and moneyed classmate (and constant tormentor), Shiina-kun!
And what's this about a mistake in the omake page of Isshiki-sensei's manga and what does it have to do with Mayu?

King's Another Work appears to be Fujinaka Chise-sensei's debut tank (based on her 5-point backlist), but she also created Adeyaka Prince (AKA Glossily Kabuki Prince; JP release: 2011.01), the Guess who sneaks into my dorm room? Numurenu Mori no Hime, Ookami o Daku (2010.09), the Beauty Transformation, Revenge
Bijin Kakumei (2010.06) and the 2010.01-vintage Student-Teacher Sensei to, Uwakichuu (which includes the Master×Servant Ouji na Geboku no Aishikata
/Way to Love a Princely Servant
one-shot). Her current Sho-Comi serial is Shakespeare no Oki ni Mesu Mama, which apparently has The Bishie Bard time slipping to Japan to help a heroine win her love.
