Yuma dreams of becoming a manga artist, yet her life is not truly her own. Confined to a wheelchair, she endures the suffocating control of her mother, who dictates every aspect of her existence. Adding to her misery, her childhood "friend" exploits her artistic talent, forcing Yuma to secretly illustrate a manga on her behalf. Weary from relentless mistreatment, Yuma makes a desperate gamble for freedom by submitting an application to an erotic manga magazine. However, her meeting with the editor-in-chief delivers a harsh dose of reality. His counsel is blunt: if Yuma wishes to craft compelling narratives, she must first broaden her own life experience—in every sense of the word. And so begins Yuma's journey toward self-liberation, one that will push her far beyond the boundaries she once believed insurmountable.
