Next door to the Miyamoto family lives Nagisa Ichinose, who is in the same grade and attends the same high school as Kotaro. In order to help her mother (Michiko Hada), who supports the family alone, Nagisa stops playing for the handball team and even gives up her pursuit of becoming a nurse.

Meanwhile, Minako Kurita (Kinuyo Kodama) is a classmate of Kotaro. Minako also has a crush on Kotaro. Also, Masaki is the only son in the Miyamoto family. He is Nagisa's first love ...
