University student Akio prefers the company of plants over people, but everything changes when he befriends his outgoing, promiscuous dorm neighbor.

I didn't even have to let you sleep with me for you to stick around." Akio couldn't even begin to understand what Umi was going through... "All I want is the one I love to love me back." You may be surprised by which of them feels that way. (Source: Kuma)
