Synopsis
Yusuke Tashiro, a 10 th grader from Kyushu, hoping to be admitted to a good college and become a lawyer, enrolls in a prestigious high school in Tokyo . He is supposed to live in his uncle's house, part of which is rented while the uncle is abroad on business. To his surprise, a realtor's mistake leaves Yusuke sharing the house with Kei Yamaba, his classmate and most beautiful girl in the school.
Yusuke and Kei, fearing that their unexpected “ Co-habitation ” will be discovered by school officials, spend anxious months under the same roof. While he grows increasingly attracted to her, Yusuke is often irritated by Kei's innocent and nonchalant attitude toward their predicament. Unable to express their feelings about one another, Yusuke and Kei develop other romantic attachments, while their living together is discovered.
