Manga artist Ichiro struggles to support himself and his siblings Machi and Fumio on the rent from a small apartment building he inherited following their father's death and their mother running away with another man. His workload increases when both his assistants quit but his editor Masahiro finds him a new assistant named Shiori. Despite being self-taught and only 19 Shiori does the best work Ichiro has ever seen and is instantly liked by Machi and Fumio. Shiori reveals she only started reading her grandmothers manga collection when she was 18, one of which was Ichiro’s main series Alice and the Knight of Thorns. After an all-nighter to meet a deadline they both fall asleep at their desks. Upon awaking Ichiro sees a craft pen stuck in Shiori’s back. Fearing she is hurt he grabs the pen and is transported into an infinite void. Shiori pulls him out and is angry he touched her while asleep but accepts he thought she was hurt. She explains she is Princess of a species called Star-People and what Ichiro mistook for a pen was her stinger. By touching it Ichiro is now her fated husband but as she desires a real marriage she insists they must fall in love first.

Ichiro passes out from fever so Shiori rushes back, explaining they must now remain close to each other or Ichiro will weaken and die. Ichiro accepts Shiori is telling the truth about everything when holding hands cures his fever. Shiori rents one of the apartments and asks some of her Star-People to discover if their engagement can be annulled. Requiring necessities Ichiro takes Shiori shopping. Shiori explains that a meteorite hit their island, bringing an alien bacteria that first infected her grandmother, then spread to every islander. By coexisting with the bacteria they gained powers and renamed themselves Star-People. Two men flirt with Shiori but when Ichiro pulls her away he hurts her arm, causing his nose to bleed. Shiori blames herself, explaining her pain or even emotional upset will now affect his physical health, and regrets leaving her island. Ichiro insists it is alright she is trying to find happiness and promises to be more careful. Just in case the engagement can’t be annulled he also promises to learn how to be around her safely, making her smile.
