Ao Haru Ride(2014)
Futaba Yoshioka, tem suas razões para querer “apagar” sua antiga imagem e começar uma nova no ensino médio. Por ser bonita, ela era ignorada e mal falada pelas outras garotas no fundamental, e, por causa de um mal entendido, ela não pôde expressar seus sentimentos para o único garoto do qual já gostou, Tanaka. No ensino médio ela está determinada em ser a menos delicada e feminina possível, a fim de que não atraia a atenção dos rapazes e suas amigas não tenham inveja dela. Enquanto vive contentemente dessa forma, ela encontra Tanaka novamente, mas com o nome diferente, Kou Mabuchi. Ele a conta que sentia o mesmo por ela quando mais novos, mas que agora as coisas não podem mais ser como eram.
