The residence for troubled students is called Sakurasou. This is the home of Sorata Kanda. Young Mashiro Shiina moves in one day, and Kanda is immediately drawn to her. She then gives herself the responsibility of keeping her safe from the "actual" problem pupils. Shiina, however, is not like other girls. On the one hand, she is very talented and gifted, and on the other, she is unable to support herself. This results in a very reluctant connection.
