I Wanna Do Bad Things with You (Vol. 1) - Yutaka

I Wanna Do Bad Things with You Vol. 1 introduces us to a quiet, withdrawn high school girl who blends into the background—until a bold, rebellious classmate shatters her routine. Drawn to his free-spirited attitude and indifferent charm, she finds herself caught in a strange, exhilarating pull toward doing things she never imagined. The result is a tension-filled, slightly provocative relationship that’s as emotionally charged as it is unpredictable.

Through subtle character development and school-life realism, Volume 1 lays the groundwork for a coming-of-age story that explores identity, risk, and emotional connection in a world full of social pressure.
