Kamenashi Kurou, who had been embezzling yakuza money to pay off his debts, is now faced with a desperate situation when he's presented with an 8 million yen debt to repay! It's at this point that Tomio Tsuguhisa, a flashy man with red hair, makes a proposition to Kurou. It's to "work as a maid at a maid cafe"—with no option to refuse, Kurou finds himself working at a maid cafe staffed entirely by men. On top of that, as a debtor option (?), he ends up being kept at Tsuguhisa's house, has his first kiss stolen, and faces a crisis of chastity!? It seems like hellish days with interest rates that are too high...but before long, Kurou finds himself increasingly moved by Tsuguhisa's every word and action.
