Yuko, a high school girl who was raised in a single-father household in a certain small rural town. She is extremely bad at making any kind of decision. She is also extremely bad at dealing with flashy events happening. The time when nothing happens, in other words, ‟normalcy,‟ was the most comfortable for her. The father, single-handedly, has been raising Yuko with care just like any ordinary family would. However, her father had a different side from that of an ‟ordinary‟ parent. That side was his involvement in the yakuza as his profession. And the father's surrounding group of fellow members. They dote on their daughters, challenge themselves with university entrance exams at a mature age, and struggle with the care of their parents. They are somehow likable yakuza. They were always kind to Yuko as well. Eventually, due to the changing times and diminishing demand, the yakuza business suffered a significant decline in activities, and the organized crime groups found themselves in a crisis of survival. Despite having a slightly guilty feeling towards her classmates and society, Yuko was living her everyday life relatively happily. However, due to a series of trivial events, her sense of ‟normalcy‟ begins to crumble little by little.
