Close friends and university housemates Yumi (Shiori Kubo) and Ruka (Yuna Taira ) are polar opposites. Yumi drifts through life, working in a second-hand book shop, while Ruka chases her dream to be a rockstar. When Ruka’s band finds success, the pair drift apart, but her friend’s newfound fame may not be everything Yumi imagines.
A stirring and tender offbeat comedy on youth, ambition and the bonds of sisterhood, adapted from Masakazu Ishiguro’s original manga.
