Shinichirou Nakagami was living a life that other boys in his grade could only dream of—sharing a home with the gifted student Hiromi Yuasa. However, the usually bright and cheerful Hiromi has become depressed and distant at home since her mother's death. While he is the target of his peers' ignorant jealousy, rumors begin to circulate when Shinichirou meets Noe Isurugi—a girl known for cursing her classmates, with those curses invariably coming true. Noe curses Shinichirou as well, but cursing someone creates two wounds, and her curse rebounds on her in the form of a raccoon attacking her beloved chicken, Raigomaru. Despite this, she does not shed a single tear; Noe had her tears stolen. For Noe to cry again, she would need the tears of another, and Shinichirou knows someone whose tears he wants to take.
