Minamoto-kun Monogatari
Minamoto-kun Monogatari is a 2011 manga written and drawn by Minori Inaba.
Terumi Minamoto-kun isn't your average male student. Fated with a face even prettier than women, Minamoto was often bullied by the girls in middle school who were jealous of his face. Such an ordeal caused him to developed a fear of women and he ended up attending a high school for boys. Just as he enters college and makes a promise to himself to overcome the trauma of his past, his father remarries and asks him to move out of the house. His father arranges him to live with his aunt (Minamoto-kun's father's younger sister) for the time being, Fujiwara Kaoruko. An extremely beautiful woman who is also a associated professor at his college, she is often the object of fantasies in the minds of her male students. When he arrives at her apartment, however, Minamoto is met with a surprise when he's offered by his aunt Kaoruko, to be involved in her 'research'...
