Chizu is Fumi&#039;s older cousin.     She is present to see Fumi off for her first day at school. It is implied that she was a large part of Fumi&#039;s life in her old town. She is seen (in flashback) spending time with Fumi in her younger teenage years, such as teaching Fumi how to cook.    Despite Fumi&#039;s attempts to convince Chizu to spend more time with her in Kamakura, Chizu sombrely and apologetically declines, her motives for doing so becoming clear later on.    It is revealed that Chizu and Fumi have had a deeper side to their relationship, however, she neglected telling Fumi that she was engaged to be married. The shocking news later causes Fumi to avoid her cousin, stating that she is cruel.    She seems very flirtatious, as she often makes comments to make Fumi blush, and she has an air of mature feminine authority to her that her younger cousin latches on to; Fumi is palpable even to a smile from Chizu, and the older cousin seems to enjoy her control over Fumi. After the announcement of her marriage, Chizu appears to be deeply sorry and guilt-ridden for keeping it a secret from Fumi as she understands just how much the younger girl trusted her and sought confidence in her.    Chizu has extremely good relations with the Manjoume family as she even brings along her fianc&eacute; to meet her aunt and uncle during a home visit. Fumi&#039;s mother seems to dote on her a little. It is never made explicit, but it can be gathered that Fumi&#039;s mother and Chizu&#039;s mother are sisters, as Chizu has a different surname.     While not appearing very much, it is quite clear that Chizu has had one of the largest effects on Fumi, being her largest source of emotional support before Fumi&#039;s move back to her old town.     Eventually Chizu stops visiting the Majoume family after getting married; close to a year passes without Chizu&#039;s appearance, possibly symbolising Fumi&#039;s growing emotional independence and self-assuredness as she no longer need her cousin in her life.      Later on in the manga,  ~!Chizu appears for a visit roughly a year after she last sees the Manjoume familyi. She has since then had a baby; she informs her cousin that her child &quot;looks like Fumi&quot;, whether this is true or a manifestation of Chizu&#039;s guilt is unknown.    During her visit, the extent of her and Fumi&#039;s closeness is revealed; Chizu is much older, and used to visit her relatives quite often. When she first got an apartment as she started college, she invited Fumi (who was then middle-school) to spend nights with her. Chizu is also responsible for giving Fumi her first sexual experience.    Chizu tearfully blames herself for what transpired between them, and regretfully informs her cousin that she couldn&#039;t continue with their lesbian relationship as she (presumably) was unable to deal with the pressures or commit fully to a same sex involvement. It is inferred that Chizu, under different circumstances, may have continued her relationship with Fumi.!~

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.
