Timid boy Sorano, mistaken for a girl, meets charming Iori; they bond despite differences in feudal Japan.

Impressed by Iori's charming personality, Sorano agrees to accompany them for a day. Despite their differences, the two soon discover that they have more in common than they initially assumed.
