An erotic drama starring sexy actress Abeno Miku. Mihiro, who lives with her mother, is told by her mother that she wants to start living with her boyfriend Sawada.

Having graduated from high school, Mihiro (Abeno) is excited about living with her single mother, who is dating her boyfriend with the intention of remarrying, but she is confused by his university student son Kenichi (Yuki), who is not used to being around women, so she acts like a little sister and behaves like a dependent.
