Synopsis

Hospitalized teens Yuuichi and Rika form an unlikely romance despite her selfish, moody personality.

After contracting hepatitis A, Ezaki Yuuichi has been confined to a hospital, away from his friends and family, much to his displeasure. To relieve his boredom, he has taken to sneaking out of the hospital, usually putting himself on the receiving end of a beating from his nurse. Upon meeting a girl his age also staying in the hospital, he is immediately captivated by her beauty. Akiba Rika's personality is not quite as captivating as her beauty however. In fact, she is rather selfish, moody, and bossy. But as the two spend more time with each other, they begin to form an unlikely bond, sharing the ordinary joys and trials of a budding teenage romance within the hospital walls.
