After a spur-of-the-moment one-night stand, one thing leads to another and they start living together. They’re nothing alike. Not in terms of personality, nor the way they look— there’s even a wide age gap between them. But...ever so awkwardly, ever so clumsily, they’re somehow fitting into each other’s missing pieces.

Saori has adored her older sister ever since she was little, but that’s exactly why she can’t just wish Iori happiness with her lover.

Or is there some hope close by, where her fumbling efforts to find love stir a new emotion in another’s heart…?

If Saori had her way, her big sister Iori would always be there beside her—just reach out a hand and they could touch, open a mouth and they could talk. But now Iori has a girlfriend. And a job. And a lot less time for her little sis. Somehow, whenever she can’t be with her sister, Saori finds her way to her classmate Shizuku. But what exactly is that girl to her...?
