Synopsis
Yuna and Akari are two high school girls with very different views on love: Yuna dreams about romance through rose-coloured glasses, while Akari is down-to-earth and practical. Meanwhile, high school boys Kazuomi and Rio also have different views on love: Kazuomi is an airhead who can't grasp the concept of love, while Rio grabs onto any confession as an opportunity—so long as the girl looks cute. Will these four classmates end up leading a youthful romance that meets their expectations?
Sakisaka launched the romantic shoujo manga, also known by its short name FuriFura, in Bessatsu Margaret in June 2015, four months after concluding Ao Haru Ride. The series ended in the magazine's June issue on May 13. Shueisha published the 12th and final volume on June 28. FuriFura has sold a cumulative 4.5 million copies of its compiled volumes. A live-action film adaptation will premiere in Japan in August 2020.
VIZ Media licensed the manga in English this July and plans to publish the first volume on March 3, 2020.
