Rescued by Hana Ayukawa, a fishing enthusiast with a close-knit group of fishing friends, including Takaaki Tsutsujimori, Tsunehiro is encouraged by Hana to explore fishing. This leads him to forge new friendships within the fishing community. As his circumstances improve, Tsunehiro finds himself working alongside Hana and Takaaki at the same convenience store, gradually becoming more passionate about fishing.
