A collection of unconnected one-shots.

"Natsu no Mayu" is about a girl who admires her friend. Also deals with coming-of-age issues a bit.
"Sandals" is about a girl who has a crush on her best friend.
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the main character of "Short Cut" is certainly being paid a great compliment... unfortunately, she doesn't see it that way.
"Red Umbrella, White Umbrella" is about two friends and their ideas about femininity.
In "Tiger Lily," an old woman remembers the past. A helpful bit of information: the two main characters are drawn as their younger selves even in the scenes that take place in the present.
"Weeds on the Wayside" is about a girl who's pretending she likes girls.
In "Next to Her," the main character fixates on her boyfriend's ex.
In "Stuffed Animals' Insides," a girl sees a friend (who also happens to be her crush) changing herself to attract the attention of a boy.
In "Maidens' Cake," two girls share a "wedding cake."
In Takahashi Mako's "Splinters of Rock Candy," a girl worries over what to get her friend.
