Synopsis
Former lovers Maya and Michiru co-parent Yuuta with actor Nico, forming a warm, unconventional family.
Maya, who works as a translator, lives with her bisexual former girlfriend, Michiru, and Michiru's son, Yuuta. Residing in the same apartment building is an actor called Nico, who drops by for a visit almost everyday, and knows about Michiru's past. Somewhat like family, and somewhat not, their lives interweave full of warm days. (Source: Stiletto Heels Scans)
