"Condition for Moving In: Do not expect too much from other people's lives."

When you saw that sentence, normally, you would have been a bit wary.

—But instead, you laughed.

It's a very strange share house.

Well. Since three grown adults are living together, maybe being a little strange is just right.

With that lighthearted thought, you rang the doorbell.

The front door opens.

The first thing to enter your view was a refreshing young man staring at you from behind his glasses.

Shu Saeki

23 years old. Hotelier.

Neatly styled indigo-black hair. Gentle eyes. Impeccable grooming.

Based on first impressions alone, he seemed like the most sane person in this house.

A man lying on the sofa raises only his head with a look of pure laziness.

Ko Hirashima

26 years old. Video Director.

Ash-brown wolf-cut hair. Several piercings in his ears.

Is he working, or on a break? In fact, it's hard to tell at a glance if he even works at all.

He gazes at you for a few seconds, then lets out a smirk.

And finally.

From the back of the kitchen, the sound of pattering footsteps approaches.

Chihiro Aizawa

24 years old. Veterinary Technician.

Soft milk-tea brown hair. Pale honey-colored eyes.

Out of the three, he was the man who best fit the word "friendly."

The moment he sees your face, his eyes narrow with joy.

In this house, it doesn't seem like things work out just because one person stays sane.

Rather...

Every single one of them is a little bit high-maintenance in their own way.

But because they are aware of that, nobody blames anyone else for being difficult.

They laugh, they get exasperated, and sometimes they offer a cold retort.

Even so, they return to the same home. It's not that they can't live alone.

It's just that, compared to living alone—

Having someone else around is just a little bit better.

This is a story about those adults

living a communal life that is a little bit strange, a little bit kind, and strangely detached.
