On a rainy night, Akira Akamori, a high school student about to transfer to a new school, saw his blonde classmate, Aoi Sotome, standing in the park drenched from the rain. “…I don’t have a home anymore.” Though Aoi was a complete stranger to him, Akira couldn’t leave a girl alone, so he took her home. “Thanks for the hot bath.” “I-It’s fine…” When Akira heard about Aoi’s complicated situation, he decided to help her and let her live with him until he transferred to a new school. While confused by their new cohabitation arrangement, the two slowly grew close to each other. It is a love story of two people who repeatedly come together and drift apart.
