Yukari, who almost everyone calls En, is a smart and humorous young girl, who is also at the top of her class. However, her favorite time is the one she spends with childhood friend Kotoko, an eccentric girl whose tendencies of fighting with (and being chased by) teachers, having a series of boyfriends, and not studying at all, lean towards delinquency. The two of them spend a lot of time in an abandoned school basement smoking, where one day, they stumble upon Narihira, a classmate who is crying, with Kotoko immediately falling madly in love with him.

According to Google, Shimokitazawa, or Shimokita, is a hip cultural quarter with a lingering old-Tokyo vibe. Narrow, mural-painted lanes are lined with stylish stores for vintage clothes and vinyl. Craft cafes and brewpubs host art shows and live bands, while bakeries and bistros serve inventive pastries and veggie curries. Edgy new plays debut at Honda Gekijo Theater, and young directors screen short movies at Tollywood cinema.
