Synopsis:

The narrative centers on Kotoko Aihara, a high school student whose life takes an unexpected turn following a devastating earthquake. Forced to become housemates with Naoki Irie, a renowned academic, Kotoko finds herself in close proximity to the object of her long-standing affection. Her past attempts at connection have unfortunately created a significant barrier between them, yet she remains undeterred.

The series explores themes of chance encounters and persistent hope as Kotoko navigates this unusual living arrangement alongside a cast of eccentric companions and a supportive, if somewhat interfering, family member. Set against a backdrop of everyday high school life, the story examines the challenges of pursuing a difficult romance while grappling with personal insecurities and the complexities of social dynamics. It offers a contemplative look at the potential for connection in unforeseen circumstances, blending lighthearted moments with subtle emotional depth.
