Tatsuhiko Shiroyama hates being stuck in the boonies. Greetings from strangers feels fake, part-time job prospects are limited, and hes been blessed with the nickname Niyayama from his classmates due to his creepy, unsociable attempts at smiling. He turned to the radio as a means to escape, and thinks about nothing more than saving up for a move to Tokyo where he can explore his passions. But Tatsuhikos life changes forever when he saves a rich CEO from a rice paddy and is set up with his granddaughter, the equally as shy and antisocial Tamiko Mita. Together, the two stumble through the nuances of dating, and Tatsuhikos dreary days become a whole lot brighter.
