The Heiress and the Chauffeur is a historical romance manga. I bought my copy of this volume new.
Review:
This is set during the Taisho era. When Sayaka was little, her mother was killed in a construction accident and Sayaka's foot was injured badly enough that she could no longer walk. In an effort to earn her father's praise and make him spend more time with her, she trained herself to walk again, and to be elegant enough to be called the "crimson lily" of her finishing school. Although Sayaka's father continues to spend most of his time away from her, Sayaka instead grows very close to her chauffeur, Shinobu Narutaki, seeing him as something like an older brother. What she doesn't realize is that Narutaki has fallen in love with her. His overly familiar behavior with her often gets them in trouble, but he's happy to take whatever punishment he's given as long as he can stay by her side.
Still, the difference in their social classes is an issue. In this volume, a jealous girl tries to get Narutaki dismissed, and Narutaki worries that Sayaka will fall in love with someone at a soiree she's invited to.
