Koizumi Shintarō is a 30-year-old who has been isolated in his room for 15 years. His father, whom he blames for his condition, brings him food and manga to read, and tries to encourage him to come out, without success.

When his father marries a beautiful woman and dies soon afterward from cancer, the hermit is left to deal with this younger woman he is attracted to, living in his home, and taking care of him.
