She is the President of the Literature Club in Matsuoka Girls&#039; High School. She is on good terms with Fumi as the club is rather small; they are seen together reading books and having tea as part of the club&#039;s activities.     She is a close school friend of Sugimoto Yasuko and is very aware of her popularity, often making fun of Yasuko being &quot;Mr. Matsuoka-sama&quot;. She is seen to be very exasperated at Yasuko&#039;s presence in the club, as potential members usually leave to follow Yasuko in the basketball club. 

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.
