Synopsis
Rokurou, a seaside boy, becomes caretaker to sheltered heiress Seto in isolated Hoshimi town.
In Hoshimi town, on the coast of Setouchi, where no convenience stores, gaming centers or family restaurants exist, residential areas are scattered on a narrow plot of land trapped between the sea and the mountains. One day, Rokurou, a second-year middle school student who is good at taking care of others and who is a little bit more knowledgeable than his peers about the sea, meets Seto, the daughter of the former autocratic president of a large company called Murakami Mining Company. Seto, who knows nothing about the world, and has zero ability to earn a living, was at that time living self-sufficiently by herself. After an unexpected turn of events, Rokurou will take care of Seto, while they hunt for prey on the seashore. (Source: Wikipedia, translated)
