From Gainax, with production by Toshimichi Otsuki (Slayers, Nadesico), chief direction and story by Hideaki Anno (Neon Genesis Evangelion) comes a high-tension story of the heartrending rivalries of a first love.

Yukino has finally decided she will do Aya's play, but with Culture Fest deadlines looming, not everyone is being so supportive of her determination to make her acting debut. Maho is refusing to take part, the student council members are telling her to give up, and the other clubs have already claimed all of the materials and practice space. In the midst of the turmoil, Yukino is about to uncover help from some very unexpected sources - Mr. Kawashima and ... Asaba?!?

With everyone else working hard on Aya's play, Arima is feeling alone and depressed. Yukino seems to be changing. Does she really even need him anymore?
