The narrative unfolds in a slice-of-life format, capturing the everyday experiences and emotions of Licca and her peers. Licca lives with her parents and younger brother, Masaru, in a modest household. Her father, a manga artist, and her mother, a homemaker, provide a supportive yet occasionally chaotic environment that mirrors the ups and downs of family dynamics.
The series explores Licca's relationships with her classmates, particularly her close friends Mariko and Miho. Together, they face typical pre-adolescent dilemmas, such as school projects, crushes, and misunderstandings.
