Shimamura Hougetsu is a high school student. She met [Adachi](https://anilist.co/character/144717/Sakura-Adachi) while skipping class on the second floor of the gym in her school when Adachi accidentally walks in on her one day. (In both manga adaptations, it was Shimamura who walked in on Adachi in the gym when they first met instead of the reverse.) The two instantly took a liking for each other and began to hang out together all the time. Shimamura has tail-bone length, dyed brown hair, which she keeps out of her face with two clips on the right side. Her eyes are also brown. Despite playing basketball in middle school, Shimamura is on the shorter side. She has a slim figure. Shimamura tends to think of interpersonal relationships as bothersome since she feels that it requires too much effort to maintain a balanced relationship.

~!During a summer break in their second year of high school, Shimamura is confessed to by Adachi at a summer festival, and chooses to accept her feelings, thus becoming her girlfriend.!~

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)

Adachi and Shimamura, two young women who attend the same high school, are inseparable friends. Whether playing table tennis, chatting about favorite TV shows, or just relaxing together, they’re happy to share their days. When Adachi’s friendship turns into romantic attraction, the relationship begins to change, one day at a time.

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.

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.
