Botan's drunk enthusiasm is contagious in a way that makes you want to pour yourself something and sit with these people. Watch a reserved person crack open not because of alcohol, but because someone decided isolation wasn't as good as being wanted. The romance builds so quietly you don't notice you're rooting for them until the show's already won.

Botan Kamiina arrives at her university dorm ready for a fresh start, but finds herself drawn to something unexpected: the quiet dorm leader Ibuki Tonami enjoying a drink by herself. Curious, Botan decides to taste alcohol for the first time, and something clicks. Drinking turns the usually polite, cheerful first-year into a bold flirt, and every new drink she tries, from shochu to whisky, becomes a cherished memory shared with her dormmates. Ibuki has kept her drinking private, self-conscious about the hiccups it gives her after bad experiences with others, and the rest of the dorm is surprised to see her drinking with Botan. As Botan hopes to coax Ibuki out of her shell, the reserved dorm leader slowly learns that some pleasures are better shared. The result is a gentle romance and slice of life story about new friends and the drinks that bring them together.
