38-year-old charismatic Igarashi Toru, a former lecturer of a famous preparatory school, has been given a year to live. One day, he happens to encounter Endo Maki who attends part-time high school while juggling multiple part-time jobs. Wanting to graduate from high school so that she can hold a steady job, Maki appeals to Igarashi to teach her to study for the makeup exam.
