College student Saijou, who sees love as sparkles, befriends Shinonome, a girl seeking to understand love.
Saijou is a college student who has the ability to see the love in a girl's heart in form of sparkles.

But one day he meets a girl named Shinonome who wants to know what love is and he decides to become her friend as he considers both of them as similar. (Source: MU)
