However, his life takes an unexpected turn when he wakes up one morning to find that his right hand has been mysteriously replaced with a miniature girl named Midori.

Initially, Seiji is confused and frustrated by this development, but he soon realizes that he can communicate with Midori and that she has her own consciousness and feelings. Despite his initial reluctance to accept Midori's presence, Seiji is forced to take care of her as she needs food, shelter, and protection.
