Summary
Mitsumi makes her chest skip and jump. When she was crushing on Shima, it always felt like she needed… something, that maybe he wasn’t. She wanted him to look at her and like her, but it was difficult to imagine him actually dating her. Holding her hand, telling her she’s pretty. Not that Shima isn’t the type of boy who calls girls pretty. He’s sweet and perceptive and quick to give a little boost if he notices someone struggling. But he’s not… the kind of boy who would (or should) call Mika pretty. It was nice because he was unattainable, in a sense.
That isn’t even remotely close to how she feels about Mitsumi. She doesn’t particularly care if Mitsumi thinks she’s good enough or nice enough or pretty enough, because she already knows Mitsumi’s opinion of all of those things. It’s plenty just to see her, to laugh with her, to swing their hands back and forth when Mitsumi catches up with her on their way to school.

Summary
It's Mitsumi, squinting her eyes against the harsh bathroom light. She still looks half asleep, and Mika cringes, wondering how much noise she made if she managed to wake up Mitsumi.
"Sorry," Mika says.
"What are you—are you okay?"
"Yeah, you can go back to sleep." She keeps her eyes on the opened cabinet, feeling like she can't meet Mitsumi's eyes. Even so, in her periphery she still can see very clearly as Mitsumi comes inside the bathroom and shuts the door behind her. That's the thing about Mitsumi. Whenever Mika hopes that she'll just turn around, go back the way she came from and forget—Mitsumi always takes a step toward her.

Mika gets her period at a sleepover. Mitsumi joins her on a 4 a.m. convenience store run.

Summary
“Oh, that reminds me!” She unhooks their arms as quickly as she’d connected them in the first place, then interlocks their fingers. Mika feels her stomach squirm even worse at the feeling of Mitsumi’s palm sliding against hers, the sight of their fingers wound together like they belong that way. Mitsumi is giggling, sounding almost giddy as she looks between their joint hands and Mika’s face, as if assessing her reaction.
Mika is struck with the feeling that she missed out on some context, and feels rather red for it. That can be the only explanation. “Um. Mitsumi?”
“Yeah?” Mitsumi rocks a little on her feet and nearly trips because of it, only managing to right herself at the last second because she has Mika to use as balance. In turn, Mika stumbles a bit too, but manages to keep herself upright by digging her heel into the still-drying concrete. She lets out an exasperated sigh, but can’t stay annoyed for long looking at Mitsumi’s persistent smile. “Did you notice anything, Mika-chan?”

Mitsumi sees no better way to test her newly softened hands than by holding Mika's.

Summary
"It's nothing to be embarrassed about," Mitsumi says, her voice so tragically sincere. Mika can't look at her.
"It would be more embarrassing if I lied about it, I guess." Mika keeps laughing. If she doesn't, she thinks she'll cry, and that would be a lot more lame than being the only one who's never been kissed.
--
Mika gets her first kiss. It (mostly) doesn't count.

Summary
Mitsumi Iwakura is a plain girl. She has flat hair, a small mouth, and a face round like a panda. Her voice carries with it the spritzy brightness of an orange being peeled. Her idea of a hilarious joke regarding her career is 'I’m the sort of person who should stand above others'. She picks the right karaoke songs and sings like she is going to lose her vocal cords tomorrow. She takes blurry selfies with her phone’s back camera. Her favourite top to wear is an old crewneck sweatshirt with a cherry print smack in its middle. She passes out two minutes into a light jog during PE. Her mind makes room to remember people’s kindness. She is barf girl and the hidden banchou. She is a good person.
She is not like Mika at all.
The many facets of Mika Egashira, and the love that is hidden in between.
