Synopsis from Adachi to Shimamura

Somewhere in school at noon you can hear the sound of two girls playing table tennis together while they wait for the time to pass. As if by fate, two students, Sakura Adachi and Hougetsu Shimamura, meet on the second floor of the gym. As they gradually develop a budding friendship, their feelings for one another become more ambiguous. The two grow closer every day and must learn to deal with their opposing personalities and determine the depth of their affection for one another.

The nature of this relationship gradually changes as one of them begins to develop feelings beyond the confines of a platonic relationship. Still, Adachi and Shimamura need to figure out whether forming a bond stronger than friendship brings them closer or apart.
