Synopsis
Rich, lonely Leo gains a cheerful, muscular foreign friend from his archaeologist parents, rediscovering joy.
Leo is well-off and lives in a big mansion, but he doesn't have any friends and often skips school. That's when his parents, who are always overseas for their work as archaeologists, decide to bring back a friend for him... They introduce him to Balu, a tall, dark, and handsome young man with rippling muscles, an innocent smile, and broken Japanese!! Leo is swept along by Balu's constant unexpected behaviors, but as he spends time with his earnest and lively new companion, he realizes that he's actually smiling from the bottom of his heart again for the first time in years...
