Akane is a dog-loving girl who has wanted to be a dog groomer ever since she was little. Lacking interest in fashion and boys, she's often told that she doesn't have a single drop of femininity in her. One day, while searching for a part-time job, she finds posting looking for a pet-sitter! She applies for the position right away, but the job is apparently in a luxury high-rise apartment?! And her employer is the former number-one male host in town?! What's more, Akane's best friend wasted a lot of money on that particular host, so she subconsciously holds a grudge against him. However, as she works and and spends time with him, she finds out about his love for dogs and his kind-hearted side, and her bad impression of him changes bit by bit. Despite having worn pants almost her entire life, she tries on a skirt for once, and as her feelings for him change, Akane herself begins to change as well. What will become of the relationship between a dog-loving tomboy and the former No. 1 male host...?! (Source: Renta, translated)
