Побывав в Англии, японская школьница Синобу Омия встретилась с Элис Картелет. Элис знала по-японски только слова «конничива» и «аригато», а Синобу по-английски — только «хэлло». Несмотря на столь скудный словарный запас, девушки нашли общий язык и стали подругами. И теперь уже Элис переезжает в Японию и начинает ходить в ту же школу, что и Синобу...
В жизни Сузу Урано наступают большие перемены: она выходит замуж и переезжает к своему возлюбленному из Хиросимы в город Курэ. Но начинается Вторая Мировая Война, и жизнь на новом месте будет для нее не такой радужной, как она себе представляла. Впрочем, случались и хорошие дни.
One of the best parts about being in a group of friends is that you usually have a couple of guardian angels watching over you. So, when Shinobu has to both write a script as well as make costumes for a play for the school festival, it doesn't take long for her classmates to realize that someone might have bitten off more than she can chew. Or write and sew, in this case. Fortunately for Shinobu's theatrical future, Alice, Yoko, and Aya are glad to pitch in, and that allows for a chance to reflect on their experiences in the days before Alice arrived. Will everything be finished in time, or will the audience be in stitches because of the ones coming apart onstage? There's no way to be sure until the last curtain call!
