"I wonder if I can make any friends…"
Renge Kasumi, a transfer student, is feeling anxious about life at her new school. She's not good at making friends, so much so that she gets faint when she talks to strangers. As she walks to her new classroom with heavy steps, she hears some lively voices…?
Based on GoHands x Shochiku's original anime project, this is a pop-comic version of Renge and her friends as ordinary schoolgirls!
"Let's get together and do something fun right now, Renge-chan!"
