Plot Concept: This is a love story revolving around the impassive girl Shizuku Mizutani, whose only interest is in studying, and the trouble-making boy, Haru Yoshida, who is absent from school after getting into a fight.

My Little Monster is a story about a boy and a girl who struggle with love and friendship, and discovering that opening yourself up to other people forces you to become honest with yourself.
