Synopsis
High schooler Youichi befriends sheltered neighbor Shizuku, who's experiencing the outside world for the first time.
Kasugai Youichi just entered high school and started living on his own. But his new next-door neighbor, Nishimori Shizuku, is the ultimate sheltered girl. The smallest ordinary thing is new to Shizuku, who grew up never leaving her house. Naturally, there's no way he could leave such a cute girl alone! (Source: MU)
