GIRL FRIENDS
GIRL FRIENDS-ガールフレンズ
When it comes to grades, bookish high school student Mariko Kumakura is at the top of her class. Socially, however, she is shy and lonely, typically eating lunch by herself. Enter the charismatic and beautiful Akko Oohashi, whose goal is to befriend Mariko and burst her out of her introverted shell.
In the process of transforming Plain Jane Mariko into one of the cutest, most popular girls in school, deep feelings begin to emerge that suggest something deeper than friendship. Will these feelings destroy the budding relationship between Mariko and Akko, or will it turn into something else?

SUPPORTINGUrara Taguchi (田口 うらら Taguchi Urara) introduces herself to Mariko "Mari" Kumakura and Akiko "Akko" Oohashi in the 2nd year, along with Chiharu Kuno. She resents her parents having given her such a cute and girly name (unfitting for her as she's something of a tomboy). She's in the tennis club, which takes up a good deal of her free time (and because of which she often gets severely sunburned). Despite being best friends with Kuno-chin, is irritated by her constant flow of talk about her "prince"- not least because she herself doesn't really have the time to find a boyfriend. Loves scary stories, but she is easily terrified by them (as shown on the school trip).
