At first, I wasn't sure of myself if i'm going to read Girl Friends or not but as I follow the storyboard, I find it interesting to read. The story revolves around the quiet Mari Kumakura whose only noticeable quality is her top of the class grades, enter the cute and friendly Akko Oohashi whose goal is to get to know Mari and become best friends with her. With Akko's help she quickly transforms into one of the prettiest girls in school and becomes good friends with Akko, Sugi and Tamami. The group get into all kinds of situations; boys, diets, fashion, friends and studies.

However as the plot develops Mari realizes she has deeper feelings than she thought for Akko. Akko got jealous at Mari's boyfriend and realizes that she had feeling for her, too.
