Plot: Music academe student, Shinichi Chiaki has an impressive musical talent, and arrogance to match. His dream is to become a conductor in Europe. Unfortunately, he's deathly afraid of flying and his lofty plans remain grounded. After Shinichi and his teacher get into a fight he's transfered to the reject class. Feeling dejected, and thinking of giving up music all together, Shinichi seeks comfort from his ex girlfriend who wastes no time in calling him a loser. Poor Shinichi makes his way home after having drunk too much and he passes out in front of his neighbor's door. Little does he know... his neighbor is a girl from his music school named Noda. She can't cook or keep her room clean, she can't read music, but she attaches herself to Shinichi after he mentors her in playing the piano. Shinichi doesn't know what he's gotten himself into... Noda is quite the oddball, and polar opposite of himself.
