Ranmaru Kurisu, a young man from a family of hardy, rough-and-tumble fishermen, finds himself struggling to fit in with his surroundings. He constantly feels inferior and pessimistic, as he sticks out like a delicate, artistic sore thumb in his family. As he enters college, Ranmaru hopes to find a sense of belonging and a place where he can truly thrive. However, after a lifetime of being left out and rejected, he questions whether he even knows how to fit in.

During the winter break, the Art Squad, a group of talented artists and musicians, is helping a local children's center put on a holiday puppet show. The squad is excited to have the time to prepare for the show, but Ranmaru finds the togetherness to be torturous. He struggles to cope with the constant attention and scrutiny of his fellow squad members, who are all talented and accomplished in their respective fields.

As Ranmaru continues to grapple with his feelings of isolation, he is surprised to find that Ruka, a beautiful and talented artist, has developed feelings for him. However, Ranmaru is unaware that Ruka has agreed to an arranged marriage with another man after college. This news hits Ranmaru hard, as he realizes that his chance of being with Ruka may have been fleeting.

Despite the challenges and setbacks he faces, Ranmaru remains determined to find his place in the world. He continues to pursue his passion for art and music, hoping to one day create something that will make a difference in the lives of others. Through his struggles, Ranmaru learns the importance of self-acceptance, resilience, and the power of community.

In the end, Ranmaru finds a sense of belonging and fulfillment in his life, even though it may not have been what he had expected. He learns to embrace his unique qualities and to surround himself with people who accept and support him for who he is. Ranmaru's journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of never giving up on one's dreams.
