Pocha Climb!

Tsugumi is a high school girl caught in a familiar daily struggle, constantly torn between her earnest desire to shed some weight and her absolute weakness for doughnuts. This internal battle makes the prospect of getting into shape feel like an uphill climb, leaving her stuck in a cycle of good intentions and sweet indulgences. However, her routine takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Aira, a childhood friend she has not seen in years. Their chance reunion sparks something new, leading Tsugumi to step outside her comfort zone and join the school’s bouldering club alongside Aira. What begins as a casual attempt at physical activity quickly evolves into a shared journey, giving both girls a reason to spend their afternoons scaling walls together. Through the challenges of the climbing gym, Tsugumi finds herself motivated to finally address her fitness goals while navigating the thrill of being near Aira again. As they train side by side, the two begin to rebuild the bond they once shared, exploring the depths of a connection that feels increasingly significant. The bouldering club becomes more than just a place to exercise; it serves as the foundation for rekindling their childhood friendship—and perhaps discovering that their feelings for one another might grow into something even deeper.
