Yurumates

Yurume moves to the outskirts of Tokyo to prepare for university entrance exams, eager to begin an independent life. Her apartment building houses other hopeful students, though her neighbors are hardly models of disciplined study.

Visits, idle conversations and comfortable laziness soon compete with her plans. Getting to know Sae, Kumi and Matsukichi means adjusting to habits that make concentration difficult, turning the pursuit of a university place into an unexpectedly leisurely communal life.
