Binetsu Shōjo (微熱少女) is a shōjo manga series by Kaho Miyasaka. The title can be translated in English as Feverish Girl.

Plot

Binetsu Shōjo is about a girl named Rina, 15 years of age, who had a crush on a boy she usually sees in the train station every morning. Rina gather the courage to ask for the boy's name. It was so unfortunate, however, that her mother picked that time to shout her name and wave the flute she forgot at home. Embarrassed, she decided to hide from her mother and was saved by a boy with black hair, who turned out to be a friend of her crush! Later, she received VIP tickets from her crush, with a name on it 'Hiro Usami' for a live band concert. She was so happy that she has finally learned the boy's name.

At the concert, she learned her crush is the vocalist while her rescuer is the guitarist. She found it odd when everyone in the crowd chanted for Ryuji, with courage she started chanting loudly for Hiro (thinking that was the name is of her crush which later it turns out to be the name of the guitarist.) As a dare, Ryuji urged Hiro to take Rina on a date. The crowd changed and Hiro jumped off the stage and carries Rina away to an undisclosed location. It appears that she passed out after all that drama. When she woke up she sees a different aspect of Hiro though they did not know each other that well, he reached for her and kissed her.

Was it a simple dare act or will this love blossom?
