Tooru's jealousy over Run isn't a plot device, it's the entire engine of the show, and the comedy lands because you can feel how real that panic is underneath every bit of slapstick. Run collects girls like they're Pokemon, completely oblivious to the actual chaos she creates, and watching Tooru orchestrate damage control while pretending she doesn't care is its own kind of love confession. The four of them don't resolve into a neat dynamic until you've watched them fail at it a dozen times first. It's a show about girls who genuinely like each other but can't stop hurting each other's feelings by accident.

Tooru and Run have been close friends since childhood, and Tooru is thrilled to finally get into the same high school as Run, who is a year ahead of her. Run is forgetful, sleepy and kind, and her popularity worries the fiercely protective Tooru, who carries an aluminum bat to chase off anyone getting too friendly. Run's classmates, the shy, tall Yuuko and the calm, bespectacled Nagi, soon join the pair, and a string of misunderstandings leads Tooru to treat Yuuko as a rival for Run's attention. Adapted from a 4-koma manga, this comedy follows the four friends through ordinary days at school, around town and at home.
