Seiichiro Karibe is a popular manga writer, who writes under a female pseudonym. He isn't good at socializing with other people and he rarely goes outside. His shojo manga are targeted for young teen female readers. Because of this, his private life is hidden behind a veil. Seichiro's solitary life changes after he takes care of his nephew Ren, due to the death of his younger brother. Meanwhile, Aiko Kuon is a woman about 30-years-old. She doesn't have a dream, job, or a boyfriend. She meets Seiichiro at the funeral of her first love. That funeral is for Seiichiro's younger brother. Seiichiro asks Aiko to take part in a pseudo romance with him, so he can use it for writing material.
