The anime is a romcom series that tells the story of Kazuhiko Nukumizu, who witnesses Anna Yanami getting rejected by her childhood crush. Moreover, this creates a chain sequence, followed by the rejection of Lemon Yakisho and Chika Komari.

In all this, Nukumizu becomes the 'friend in need' for the losing heroines, giving them enough attention to make them forget their rejection. However, while doing so, can Nukumizu develop feelings for one of the losing heroines?
