Higehiro, animated by Project No.9, follows the story of a 26-year-old employee of a major IT company, Yoshida, who just got heartbroken after he confessed to his long-time crush, Airi Goto. He has been in love with her for five years and does everything for her only to realize he's in unrequited love. That day he gets rejected; he went to drink after work with his colleague.

Yoshida went home and while on his way, he saw a drunk girl on the side of the street, beneath a lamplight. She was just sitting there, under the influence of hebereke, in the middle of the night. She is Sayu and she ran away from home. With nowhere to go, she convinced Yoshida if she could stay with him and despite being hesitant at first, Yoshida agreed.

There is also a shōnen manga series by the same author with the illustrations of Imaru Adachi which is published in Kadokawa Shoten's shōnen manga magazine Monthly Shōnen Ace. Both the light novels and the manga series are published in English by One Peace Books.
