Las circunstancias han convertido a Midori Edo en un muchacho que siente sobre los hombros todo el peso de una adultez prematura. Vive en casa de su abuela Masako junto a su madre Aiko, y recibe regularmente las visitas de su desvergonzado padre biológico. Pero Midori y su familia no son los únicos que viven constreñidos por el asfixiante lazo de una existencia precaria. Hanada, su amigo de la escuela, quiere vestirse como una mujer para fundirse así con la sociedad que lo rodea y sentir el desprecio ejercido por esta en su propia piel, al tiempo que la enamorada Mizue ha de soportar sus miradas llenas de indiferencia.
