"Until I met this guy, I had wished this dreamless life would end."
Hiyori, a failing student, on a whim helps his wheelchair-bound classmate, Mukai, who is being harassed by delinquents. Mukai is the top student in their grade. Despite his poor academic performance, Hiyori is appointed to look after Mukai at school. This is a youthful tale of two mismatched individuals: Hiyori, the delinquent, and Mukai, the wheelchair-bound honor student, both living with a sense of oppression.
