The manga follows Rei Shigisawa, a lesbian office worker fed up with a society where she has to go along with the convenience of heterosexuals, even though same-sex marriage is still not legal and may not be in the near future. One day, she reconnects with an old crush who was always popular with men. Now, in a troubled marriage, she asks to spend the night. This is the story of two people who are polar opposites who question the ideal state of marriage and happiness.
