Plot

Mint na Bokura is a light-hearted romance manga about fraternal twins, Noel and Maria Minamino, and various love situations that occur around them. When Maria falls for an older guy and transfers to his school to be closer to him, Noel – who seems to love his sister a "bit" too much – is struck by extreme jealousy. To make things worse, the school that Maria has transferred to is a boarding school, which will cause him to no longer be able to hang out with her. Since Noel won't stand a chance, he decides to enter Maria's new school and persuade her to come back. But there is one major problem: the only open admission left is in the girl's dorm! Supposedly, that fact alone is enough to deter any normal, proud guy. But Noel seems to be anything but that—especially when it concerns his beloved sister. Armed with a half-wig, a headband, a pair of spats, and a padded bra, Noel resolutely disguises as a girl and begins his new life in Morinomiya Boarding School.
