Koki Sakieda is an assistant for Akira Akanebe, a manga artist he admires, who always tries to praise him in some way. Sakieda is worried that he will end up falling in love with her if this situation continues. Then Akanebe unexpectedly asks him to go out with her....... The story depicts the daily life of Akanebe-sensei, who lavishes praise on Sakieda without embarrassment, and Sakieda, who tries to accept it all gracefully.
