Umio is a bashful young guy who has recently begun working part-time at a manga store in the heart of the city. But his way of living isn't as dazzling as the city's bright lights. Umio's closest pals are his coworkers, who are all distinct characters, to say the least, and, while they're all kind individuals, they have eccentricities. They are a close-knit group of pals who have nicknames for each other and spend their weekends indoors, away from the spectacular spectacle unfolding outside.
