The 15-year-old girl Hiyori Nishiyama ( 西山 ひ よ り ) had to stay at home for a long time due to an accident shortly before the start of high school.

This fear also made her delay her return to school as long as possible. Because of her very small stature, some in the class laugh at her, including the very tall Yūshin Hirose ( 広 瀬 結 心 ), who is also sitting next to her. Although her classmates don't mean it, Hiyori is even more insecure. Her sandpit friend Ritsuka Nakano ( 中 野 律 花 ), who goes to the same class, and Yūshin try to cheer Hiyori up, which they finally manage.
