For so long, Uta has pushed down any romantic feelings she's had for her old friend Kaoru, especially after Kaoru became her sister-in-law. But after some deep reflection and advice from her classmate Chloe, Uta's embraced that her feelings are quite real. So where can she go from here...? As exam season nears, though, the tables turn, and Chloe's the one asking for Uta's urgent help to pass some tests. While Uta works on study plans for Chloe, a more pressing request arises: A girl named Miyabi asks Uta for advice on dating Chloe!
