Shinako is the eldest Sugimoto sister.    She is straight-forward and very blunt, though extremely perceptive and easy-going. She seems to dislike conflict finding it dull and unnecessary, and is rarely ever surprised by people&#039;s actions. She appears to enjoy being amused at other people&#039;s expense.     She is an alumna of Fujigaya Girls&#039; Academy, and during her high school years, she was very well known. Through flashbacks from various characters, it is revealed that Shinako&#039;s nature had not changed very much from when she was a teenager.     She does not care about people&#039;s sexual orientation and openly asks Fumi if she&#039;s a lesbian or bisexual when she first meets her. She has said herself that she had many &quot;girlfriends&quot; growing up, though this may be only due to her being bored rather than personal attraction to other women. She is an unrelenting flirt though she is also very aloof, a combination which has caused her to seem slightly cruel to those she was ever involved with romantically. 

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.
