Nanako Yukishiro, a 16-year-old student at Karai High School, is a lovely, calm, and attractive girl. Nanako, on the other hand, is no ordinary girl since she is deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deaf Nanako instead communicates through senryuu, which are 17-syllable poetry. Sixteen-year-old Eiji Busujima was a delinquent in middle school. He has, however, turned over a new leaf as a result of his newfound love of senryuu. Despite his intimidating appearance, Eiji gets along well with Nanako as a fellow Literature Club member.
