Aoi Spice (literally "Blue Spice", allthough "aoi" can also mean "inexperienced" ;) was Tajima Mimi's first ongoing series. It was published in the shoujo manga magazine Margaret in 1997. Additionally, the first volume contains also 3 other unrelated short stories published in 1996 and 1997 ^^

The main story, Aoi Spice, starts when young female student Ageha-chan meets popular idol singer Ren in the park where she works. But Ren, overdoing his look-how-evil-I-am mood, manages to handcuff her to him.
And then his dog eats the key.
Now the two of them have to live together until either they find a way to cut the handcuff's chain, or the dog... em... expulses the key. ^o^ As hours pass, they find attracted to each other. Alas, everything has an end and they manage to get rid of the handcuffs... was it that what they really wanted, after all?

The second volume follows their relationship as they start to go out as a couple but Ageha finds out she must go to England for two years. The overall tone of the story is humorous (very much so in some ocassions ^^ ), though it was several dramatic spots. The good part about this story is that it shows that friendship with the one you like is the best way to start a romance ;)
