Sakura Trick

Haruka Takayama and Yuu Sonoda have been inseparable since middle school, so enrolling together at Misato West High School feels like the natural next step. Their plans are immediately tested when they’re placed in the same class but seated at opposite ends of the room—and with the school set to close in three years, they’re part of its final group of incoming first-years. Even so, Haruka is determined to stay close to Yuu and fill their time with memories that matter.

Yuu’s laid-back charm quickly draws the attention of other girls in their class, stirring Haruka’s jealousy and anxiety. Wanting to ease her friend’s insecurities, Yuu shares an unexpectedly intimate kiss with Haruka in an empty classroom, redefining what it means for them to be “special friends.” As their closeness deepens, their relationship begins to shift in ways that bring both tenderness and new complications.
