The comedy lives entirely in silence and reaction shots. Three girls barely speak, yet somehow say everything through a glance, a head tilt, a perfectly timed pause. You're watching the funniest moments happen in the spaces between words, which means every viewer fills in the joke differently, and that's where it works.
Three high school girls get through their days without a single spoken word but with plenty of personality. Momoko is beautiful, cheerful and laid-back, yet unlucky and clumsy, and her eccentric streak keeps her days from ever being dull. Her best friends are always at her side: Shibumi, calm and cool behind her glasses, and Mayumi, a small, sweet and innocent presence. What unfolds is a comedy built on silence. With no dialogue or narration, the girls communicate through gestures, expressions and sound effects, and the humor comes from the everyday situations they find themselves in. Based on a silent manga by Ken Wakai, the short episodes offer a gentle slice-of-life look at friendship, where the girls have fun on their own or together.
