Hot Gimmick, Vol. 7 by Miki Aihara

In company-owned rabbit-hutch apartments live tenants who cant afford to live anywhere else, and the apartment complex in which high-school girl Hatsumi Narita lives is ruled over by the rumour mongering, self-righteous Mrs. Tachibana. Get on Tachibanas bad side, and life becomes hell. When Hatsumi has to buy a pregnancy test because her popular sister Akane is late, Mrs. Tachibanas son, Ryoki, who used to bully Hatsumi as a kid, promises not to tell the world about Hatsumis secret, only if she becomes his slave. Suddenly Azusa, Hatsumis protector in their youth, reappears to save her again! Hes moving back into the neighbourhood! Despite the budding romance between Hatsumi and Azusa, Ryoki has control over her through the secret that could ruin the lives of everyone in Hatsumis family, and he hasnt forgotten who his slave is!But she says hes just a friend...Well thats not how Ryoki feels. His New Years fete with our hapless heroine Hatsumi didnt go according to plan, so childhood bully/potential boyfriend Ryoki hightails it back home in a huff. Luckily, Hatsumis heavenly older brother Shinogu is there to give her a lift back to civilization. A botched burglary at the Narita household leaves Hatsumi panicky and, in an act that goes way against character, Ryoki lends her a hand, but their affections do not go unseen. Will Hatsumi and Ryokis feelings be able to survive the harsh scrutiny of company-housing life
