Overview

When Yumi Fukuzawa entered the Lillian Girls' Academy, a prestigious all-girls Catholic school in Tokyo, she never imagined she would catch the eye of beautiful and demure Sachiko Ogasawara, one of the school's most popular students. Now Sachiko has offered to be Yumi's soeur, her "sister" and guide for all her years at the academy. The whole idea has Yumi completely flustered⁠—⁠after all, they hardly know each other! The entire campus is abuzz with rumors about the two of them, but Yumi is conflicted over accepting Sachiko's offer. While she admires Sachiko, being her soeur would also mean constantly being at the center of the entire school's attention!

Life for the young women at Lillian Girls’ Academy couldn’t be more exciting! The Yamayuri Council is working on a theater production with the all-boys Hanadera Academy, and the school festival is quickly approaching. But Yumi’s duties pale in comparison to the task assigned to her by Sachiko: choosing someone as a petite soeur! Will she be able to handle the pressure of such a monumental decision, or will Yumi crumble under the weight of the Council’s — and Sachiko’s — expectations?
