Tomoe confesses to asexual Mine, agreeing to non-sexual romance but struggles with intimacy needs.
With liquid courage coursing through her veins, hopeless romantic Tomoe Murai confesses her love to Mine—a biromantic, asexual boy.

As their relationship progresses, Murai must decide whether she can overcome this unfortunate incompatibility.
