The second floor of the gym―this was where we always met. It was class time, but of course, there weren't any classes going on in a place like this. This was where Shimamura and I became friends. We hung out here―talking about TV shows and cooking, playing some ping pong... This is where we fostered our friendship. Keeping my head propped against the wall, I let out a small sigh. What was this feeling? Yesterday, I'd dreamt of me and Shimamura kissing. Not that I'm like that. I'm sure Shimamura isn’t either. It’s not even something worth repeating myself about, but really, it’s not like that. It's just that when she hears the word "friend," I want her to think of me first. That's all.

Adachi spends her school days skipping class until she meets fellow delinquent Shimamura and the two become fast friends. Cutting class together deepens their friendship but soon unexpected emotions blossom. 
 
As awkwardness and confusion settle in, the two girls travel this sea of emotions without a paddle as they learn about each other’s feelings.

The second floor of the gym. That’s our spot. Class is in session right now, but they don’t hold class in a place like this. This is where Shimamura and I became friends. What is this feeling? Yesterday, I dreamed of kissing her. I’m not like that, and I’m sure Shimamura isn’t either. But…when Shimamura thinks of the word “friend,” I want to be the first thing that comes to her mind. That’s all. (Source: Yen Press)

The long-awaited anthology of Adachi and Shimamura BD/DVD bonus stories, collected into one volume with illustrations!
 
"Welcome home. You must be tired from work." 
"Yes, I am. But when I see your face, my tiredness is blown away...... like......" 
"Wonderful. So tell me how good you feel right now." 
"Eh....... Great, really great."
 
I wonder how long we will continue on like this. Maybe even when we're old ladies. Maybe even after 3,700 years or so.

I met her on the second floor of the gymnasium and thought she was beautiful. At the same time, I thought she was three times more delinquent than I was.
 
When I first heard her name, I pictured it in hiragana. I think that softened my impression of her. 
 
From sharing a ping-pong table to sharing an apartment. From high school girls to office ladies. From skipping classes together to being together as lovers. All of their times together, from now until forever. This is a collection of newly written short stories, including "And......," which describes the day when they met with Adachi's mother just before they moved in together.
