Fifteen-year-old Hiyori Nishiyama suffers a serious accident the day before her high school entrance ceremony, leaving her hospitalized with severe bone fractures that stunt her growth. Because of her shy personality, even after recovering, she remains reluctant to attend class. When Hiyori finally gathers the courage to go to school for the first time in a year, events take an unexpected turn. As she begins to introduce herself, she is abruptly cut off by Yuushin Hirose, a tall and outgoing boy. Not only does Hiyori lose the chance to make a favorable first impression on her classmates, but Yuushin mocks her by likening her to a baby bird. Nonetheless, thanks to Yuushin's friendly and sociable demeanor, she gradually becomes more comfortable around her peers. With Yuushin by her side, Hiyori aspires to achieve her goal of making friends.
