"I'll never forget that kiss for as long as I live." —Meita Kitazono

Boku wa Kisu de Uso wo Tsuku is a 2008 Shojo manga series by Rei Toma.

Meita Kitazono is a second year high school student who spends her time in the library every day, where she enjoys reading novels--specifically, mystery novels. During one visit after school, Meita falls asleep and is awakened by a kiss.

However, Meita is uncertain on who exactly kissed her, as she wakes up to find the culprit missing, but there were four guys that were inside the library on that same day--popular Shinoda Shinobu, cool Kyoichiro Mikoshiba, the Dogged Nice Guy Shota Mogami, and Token Loli underclassman Shinichi Hachiya.

Who is Meita's secret admirer?
