Mariko "Mari" Kumakura has always excelled academically, yet her shy and reserved nature kept her distant from her classmates. Determined to change this, the vibrant and well-liked Akiko "Akko" Oohashi sets out to befriend Mari with unwavering positivity and perseverance. Together with Akko's friends—the easygoing Satoko Sugiyama and the lively Tamami Sekine—they navigate the challenges of school life and the complexities of growing up as teenage girls. As they spend more time together, Mari and Akko's bond deepens into something more profound. They start questioning if their feelings are typical for friends, pondering how this will influence their evolving relationship. "Girl Friends" was published in English by Seven Seas Entertainment in two omnibus volumes between October 2, 2012, and January 8, 2013. It also saw releases in Polish by Studio JG from October 17, 2014, to August 8, 2015, and in Spanish by Planeta Cómic from May 21, 2019, to May 26, 2020.
