The Shinamoto Siblings love themselves more than anything else. This story is also about the mysterious Aisato Siblings. Because these two sets of siblings are similar, it's natural that the boys and girls are friends with one another. Even though they may seem to think "only of themselves," their life motto is that "those of a flock must stick together". It seems that these two sets of siblings give off an otaku-lifestyle!?

Ichino Fukuyama and her fraternal twin brother Nita are animators! Once they graduated from high school, they followed their dreams to Tokyo and joined the Memochi Pro anime company! They refused to let the warnings of their parents and friends keep them from accomplishing their goals. However, it turns out that being an animator is actually a difficult dream to accomplish, with lots of job pressure, deadlines, low-pay, and no job security. On top of that, Ichino discovers that many of the other female workers don't even like to watch anime, and are embarrassed to be caught even talking about it. Ichino and Nita continue to give it their all, and stretch their meager paychecks as far as possible, all to accomplish their dreams of becoming successful animators!

Moritaka Mashiro feels as if life is passing him by; with no dreams or motivation, he simply trudges through his day-to-day life. One day, after leaving his notebook behind, he returns to school only to find the smartest guy in class, Takagi, waiting for him. Takagi is happy to return the book, but only on the condition that Mashiro agrees to become a mangaka with him. Though Mashiro initially declines, he soon decides to reconsider when he discovers that the girl he likes, Azuki, dreams of becoming a voice actress. But after promising that she can have the lead role if their manga is ever adapted into an anime, he inadvertently suggests that they get married once they are both successful! Shockingly, she agrees to the proposal and Mashiro and Takagi embark on their quest to become manga artists. With Takagi writing and Mashiro drawing, does the pair have what it takes to succeed and get their manga serialized?
