Hiromi Shibuya and Junko Ootsuka were once ordinary neighbors living in the same apartment building, but their lives are thrown into chaos when Hiromi’s mother suddenly elopes with Junko’s father. Devastated and abandoned by the very people who were supposed to care for them most, the two young women initially direct their grief and frustration at one another, clashing bitterly over the betrayal that has upended their households. However, as the initial shock fades, they recognize the shared pain binding them together. Rather than wallowing in misery, they forge a bold new pact: they vow to become far happier than the parents who left them behind. Armed with this fierce motto, both girls aggressively dive headfirst into the unpredictable world of romance, determined to conquer their love lives and prove their resilience. Their journey is anything but smooth, marked by a relentless string of romantic misadventures and crushing heartbreaks that test their newfound resolve. Yet, through every failed date and shattered expectation, they continue to push forward, supporting each other through the wreckage of their pursuits. Their persistent efforts eventually begin to shift the tide when Junko finally manages to secure a boyfriend, signaling a potential turning point in their shared quest for happiness.
