Being in love with your best friend is hard enough but turns out, being a good friend can be even harder. Hime and Akira aren't speaking to each other after an argument. Both want to apologize, but they need to come to terms on what being a girl means for both of them. Can these childhood friends find a way to understand each other or will this be the end?
A boy's interest in Hime caused Akira to be upset and jealous, and the two best friends haven't spoken in weeks. Although they both want to make up, they know this problem is deeper than a crush paying attention to someone else.
It has to do with him seeing Hime as a girl, and not Akira. Akira is jealous that no one thinks twice about Hime being an girl, while Hime herself is grossed out that a boy might see her as nothing but a girl. The two are left to question their relationships with their gender, and their relationship with each other. Can they find a way to accept each other and make up?
