Synopsis

After Miwa Inuzuka enters university, she by chance becomes friends with Saeko Sawatari, her polar opposite. At Saeko's invitation, she joins the music club, and while conversing, they come out to each other as gay. Saeko suggests they start dating, and although Miwa does not have romantic feelings for Saeko, her interest in learning what a relationship is like leads her to agree to date her.
