Kaede is a hit manga artist, and Eiji is his editor. They have been childhood friends for nineteen years. While Eiji is a talented and successful editor, his biggest professional concern is how clingy Kaede can be. Even during the busiest times right before a deadline, Kaede would rather wrap his arms around Eiji than draw his pages. In their private lives, Eiji goes along with Kaede’s whims, even playing along to go on little dates with him in place of Kaede’s ex-girlfriend. What naive Eiji does not realize is that Kaede is deliberately pushing his way into every aspect of his life, not just as a friend or colleague, but with the hope of becoming something even more to him.
