Plot
The series follows Suuna Kuruma, a high school student who has just moved into a new dorm. Upon arriving at her new room, she discovers a girl, Ruka Hamanasu, flirting with another girl. Suuna is surprised to see this happen, to which Ruka claims that they were not going out. She claims the other girl was her Template:Nihongo, which she says is short for "semi-friend". As Suuna has no other friends, Ruka offers to be her semi-friend.
