Mishin Mizushima isntnearlykawaii enough by Tokyo standards. Her developmentally stunted mum isnt a fan either, ditching her in their micro-apartment to shack up with a sugar daddy.

Her story is one of thousands in a city where towering alpha females move and think as a single, terrifyingly beautiful organism. The betas know to lay low. The rest grovel at the feet of the sparkly food chain.

In one school, a battle erupts between the barbies when a new teacher dares to question the natural order. In the wisdom of Hello Kitty, you can never have too many friends - and everyone knows the best way to make friends is to play a game...

An unhinged bestseller straight outta Tokyo,Please Form Pairsis a candy-coated survival drama where everyone must play by three rules: keep up, be liked, and stay (barely) alive in a girl-eat-girl world.
