8. A*D: Tenshi no Uso
The fourth son of the famous Caluanthes family is, well, quite infamous.

His behavior makes the rest of high society whisper about him behind his back. The only exception is Eiri Lawrence, who finds Fourth and his entourage intriguing rather than laughable - and who is everything that Fourth is not. Theirs is the world of high society, where truth and falsehood, and dark and light, intertwine.
