Shinobu is Akira&#039;s older brother who attends university. He is constantly worried about his sister, and often takes her places in his car, though Akira often gets very annoyed at how protective her brother is towards her.     He is often seen giving up a lot of his free time following her around, much to the chagrin of both his sister and mother. He is often told by his mother that he needs to get his own life in order before he could be concerned about his sister&#039;s life. He however claims that his overprotective nature is not as bad as their father&#039;s.     Despite forcefully volunteering to chaperone Akira and her friends around, he is exasperated by them. He finds the group of girls to be tiresome, save for Fumi, who is not as exicitable as the rest. He eventually comes to find out that Fumi is a lesbian through a conversation he has with Yasuko, which surprises him. He shows interest in Kyouko, though mostly out of curiousity rather than attraction. Shinobu is a little gruff with any males he sees interacting with Akira. He suspects Sawanoi Kou of having designs on Akira and so keeps an open eye on him.    Shinobu eventually starts dating Miwa &quot;Mogi&quot; Motegi, Fumi&#039;s schoolmate. 

Fumi and Akira were close childhood friends until Fumi had to move away. Ten years after losing touch with each other, the two girls meet again as high school freshmen. The two struggle to reconnect after so much has changed, and both deal with the trials and tribulations of high school &mdash; sometimes independently and sometimes with each other&rsquo;s help.

Fumi and Akira were best friends when they were little, with Akira always looking after the crybaby Fumi, but that all ended when Fumi's family moved away. Several years later, Fumi's family returned, and she and Akira happened to bump into each other on their way to school. They became friends again, quickly slipping back into old patterns. Shortly after, Fumi began dating a cool, attractive upperclassman who, coincidentally enough, had ties to Akira's current school, the prestigious Fujigaya Girls' Academy.
