Tsukishima Shizuku, a middle-school student and bookworm, is surprised to find out that a number of books she borrowed from the lending library (where her father works) show a notice that one certain Amasawa Seiji had borrowed all these books just some weeks before her. While trying to find out who this guy might be, she has to face the challenges of growing up, be that at school, with her best friend's first love or being respected by her older sister and parents.
