The storyline follows Jogoro Kobato, who seeks a quiet, ordinary life after enduring a painful experience. He ultimately meets Yuki Osanai, and together they aim for a peaceful existence as high school classmates. However, their aspirations for normalcy are persistently disturbed by a series of mysteries and challenges.
