"As long as I'm with Risa, I don't think anyone will love me." Ryoko Tsurugi joined the track club to avoid being jealous of her best friend Risa Ichinomiya, who was beautiful, popular, and outspoken. Ryoko had a crush on Jumonji Michitaka, a member of the club, but she was worried about how close he was with Risa and felt unsure of herself. On the other hand, Narikawa, another member of the track club, was aware of Ryoko's feelings for Jumonji, but he liked Ryoko, too... This is a coming-of-age rhapsody about the clumsy and frustrating feelings that comes and goes. (Source: CoMax, translated)
