A gentle, character-driven slice-of-life romance about two lonely people finding unexpected companionship and warmth through domestic cohabitation.

On his way home from drinking his sorrows away after being rejected by his crush, 26 year old salaryman Yoshida finds a high school girl named Sayu sitting on the side of the road and ends up letting her stay at his place overnight.
