Sotomura is a high-school girl who is feared as a delinquent and avoided
by most students. From her light-brown hair down to her long skirt and
harsh manner of speaking, she completely seems the part.
But
after Sotomura rescues a girl named Haruno from some bullies, Haruno
decides to try to get to know her better. Haruno is surprised to find
out that Sotomura isn't a delinquent at all and is, in fact, just a very
socially awkward girl that's bad with words but wants to make friends.
She enjoys cooking, handicrafts, and hitting the supermarket sales.
Sotomura also loves cute and fancy things, but she hides these girly
traits because she feels they don't suit how she looks.
Haruno's
first step in helping Sotomura is to try to teach her how to smile,
because whenever she tries, it ends up as a scary grin. Thus begins the
story of Sotomura's attempts to make new friends.
