"Cute" is not a word to describe Kaho. In fact, the best word to describe her is "porcupine" with her prickly personality and the tendency to say the exact opposite of what she means. All in all, even Kaho doubts that she would ever get a guy to like her. But then fellow basketball club member Arata asks her out (much to everyone else's confusion). Will these porcupine's spines keep Arata away, or will Kaho learn to speak from her heart?

Forced to head home like this, he runs into Aoi in town, but she doesn't recognize him and thinks he's a somewhat manly girl. Before he can leave, Aoi asks him to help her overcome a problem she's had for many years: an intense fear of men.
