A medical student named Hisashi Tanaka volunteers at a hospital in Hokkaido, Japan, where he meets Yasuaki Kano, a young man living with muscular dystrophy. Yasuaki’s unusual behavior, such as unexpectedly craving a banana late at night, endears him to Hisashi. As Yasuaki develops feelings for a fellow volunteer, Misaki Ando, he enlists Hisashi's help to express his emotions, creating a complicated situation as Misaki is actually Hisashi's girlfriend.
