Overview

Yuko (Kanako Enomoto), always dressed in flashy, trend-setting fashion, looks carefree and bold at first glance. But in reality, she has very few female friends. She especially can’t stand Setsuko (Sayaka Yamaguchi), a classmate at the same junior college, whose similar “fashion-forward” style feels like competition. However, after the two unexpectedly run into each other at a convenience store—both bare-faced and wearing track suits—they begin to open up, wondering they’re more alike than they thought. One day, they win a Saipan trip in a lottery and set off full of excitement… but things don’t quite go as planned. Based on a manga called "Ikeike! Baka Onna!" by Suzuki Yumiko.
