The teaser trailer for Sasaki and Miyano: Graduation features snippets from the anime as we see Sasaki and Miyano growing closer to each other. What began as a friendship between two Yaoi fans who shared manga quickly evolved into something more as they got to know each other better.

But, with Sasaki's graduation inching closer, their time together was about to be cut short, as Sasaki had to concentrate on his studies. Thus, the two start to value their time together, be it something as simple as going to and fro from their school.
