"Please leave," requested the manager of the apartment complex.
"I can't do that," replied Himo Noboru, who was behind on his rent and refusing to leave.
The manager found Himo to be a nuisance and frustratingly difficult to deal with.
Despite this, the manager had developed feelings for Himo after a kind gesture led to a kiss on the cheek. It was challenging for the manager to hear negative opinions about Himo and see him as anything other than endearing.
Normally, the manager shied away from troublesome situations, but couldn't shake the unusual emotions he felt around Himo.
Thus began the awkward love story between the introverted apartment manager and the quirky Himo-kun.
