Story

Best friends all through junior high, Haruka and Yu have just entered a high school scheduled for closure once they graduate. Haruka, who is super attached to her best friend, begins to feel pangs of jealousy when Yu starts to make new friends and comes up with a plan to insure that only she will be Yu's special friend. What follows is a funny and wistful coming-of-age story about the ultimate best friends forever!
