Synopsis

edit

After Miwa Inuzuka enters university, she by chance becomes friends with Saeko Sawatari, her polar opposite. At Saeko's invitation, she joins the music club, and while conversing, they come out to each other as gay. Saeko suggests they start dating, and although Miwa does not have romantic feelings for Saeko, her interest in learning what a relationship is like leads her to agree to date her.

Characters

edit
Miwa Inuzuka (犬塚 みわ, Inuzuka Miwa)
A college student with short black hair. She is not very good at music but plays bass guitar in the club. She is popular with men, but has never been in a relationship and Saeko is her first. She has her driving license, but after passing the exam, her instructor told her she is fundamentally unsuited for driving. She is shy but becomes bold when drunk.
Saeko Sawatari (猿渡 冴子, Sawatari Saeko)
Her hair is long and brightly dyed. She is the music club's electric guitarist and songwriter. She has had relationships with both men and women but recalls bitter memories of dating a girl in middle school and describes her dating history with men as her "desire to be normal gone awry".

The vocalist of the music club. He is the first to learn of Miwa and Saeko's relationship; though initially surprised, he is accepting.
Tsuruta (鶴田, Tsuruta)
The drummer of the music club. Before entering university, he was an otaku interested in anime and video games. He has little experience with love and falls in love with Miwa at first sight. Despite being rejected after confessing to her, he has difficulty moving on. Although he outwardly supports Miwa and Saeko's relationship, he possesses mixed feelings about it.
Rucha (ルチャ, Rucha)
A guitarist in the music club. He went to an all-boys high school.
