Introduction
What would you do if one day the person you love is diagnosed with a developmental disability? The heartwarming tale of what happiness looks like for one married couple.
Chika, who works in retail, and manga artists assistant Satoru get married and start living together. Bubbly, excitable Chika and laidback, easygoing Satoru start their newlywed life, laughing at each other's antics and enjoying their cozy, happy life. But gradually, Satoru starts to feel concerned about Chika: the apartment is a mess, she keeps forgetting her promises, is this some form of harassment?
Returning from work one day, Satoru finds Chika extremely upset after having been fired from her job. Wondering aloud why she can’t do “normal” things like everyone else; Chika has a revelation: “I think I have a developmental disability...”
Facing struggles beyond their control, Chika and Satoru begin to update their version of "normal" through trial and error. As they change, the people around them also begin to gradually change.
