Synopsis
Shy Masaki meets medical student Takeru, who trains him to overcome extreme social anxiety.
Masaki Fuwa suffers from an extreme shyness that forces him to keep an unnecessary distance away from people. He has always wanted to change himself, but never knew what to do. One day, Masaki bumps into Takeru Miyatsuka, a medical student who picks up his cell phone. For some reason, he decides to train Masaki to overcome his illness!
