Shy loner Mayo works at a "Listening House," where she secretly helps perfect-seeming basketball star Aoba with his hidden problems.
Mayo is a high school loner who has issues with communication. She starts a peculiar job at a "Listening House," where she silently listens to people's problems. But her first client is Aoba-kun, the star of the basketball team who is seemingly perfect! Could Aoba-kun and his complicated situation be too much for Mayo to handle?! So begins the secret relationship between the girl who lacks communication skills and the guy who seems to have it all. (Source: Kodansha Comics USA)
