Summary:
Mugi's life has changed in ways he never could have imagined. A high school kid, Mugi now lives with Yuu, the girl of his dreams. It almost seems too good to be true. Then Yuu's mother shows up unexpectedly. At first it seems like just a normal visit, but when Yuu and her little sister, Tsukasa, fall asleep, their mother tells Mugi a secret that may mean the girls will have to leave him. For Mugi, losing Yuu and Tsukasa means a painful return to a life of solitude. No more eating together like a happy family, no more walks home from school together. How will poor Mugi survive without Yuu-chan?
