Suiren Shibazeki, known as the school's most beautiful and untouchable girl, is painfully shy and struggles to connect with others, especially boys. Her quiet life takes a turn when she finds herself drawn to Kawasumi, a reserved and disciplined karate club member who is equally inexperienced with the opposite sex. Both Suiren and Kawasumi are pure-hearted and awkward, unaware of their own feelings, yet their mutual curiosity sparks a delicate, fluttering connection. As they navigate the challenges of communication and the pressures of high school, they slowly learn to understand each other and themselves.

Yuki Itose, a college student who is deaf, navigates her quiet world with grace, relying on sign language and lip-reading to communicate. Her life takes a gentle turn when she meets Itsuomi Nagi, a worldly and kind-hearted classmate who speaks multiple languages and shows a genuine interest in her world. As Itsuomi learns sign language to connect with Yuki, their bond deepens, blossoming into a tender romance filled with small, meaningful gestures. Alongside their friends, like the cheerful Rin and the supportive Oushi, they explore the nuances of communication, love, and understanding.

Ten Serizawa, a first-year high school student, has always endured a grueling two-hour bus commute through the mountains to attend school, leaving little time for friends or fun. When a spontaneous overnight stay at her friend's boardinghouse introduces her to its lively residents, Ten is inspired to move in, seeking a fresh start and closer connections. Living under one roof with her childhood friend and three intriguing boys—each with their own distinct personalities—Ten finds herself navigating the joys and challenges of shared life, unexpected friendships, and the stirrings of first love. As she adjusts to her new home, Ten discovers that the heart can be as unpredictable as the people around her.
