Risa is often bullied at school by her classmates, so it comes as a surprise to her when she and cute, popular Izumi suddenly become best friends. But Izumi is not as innocent as her appearance would suggest. Thus, a high school film about friendship takes a sharp turn. Emotions, excitement, drama and thrills make an impressive debut.
