A bunch of women so committed to being socially invisible that they've turned their apartment into a jellyfish shrine suddenly have to navigate a beautiful cross-dressing guy who treats their weirdness like it's the most normal thing in the world. The show is visually alive in ways that make even a conversation about fashion feel electric. It knows exactly how funny it is to watch people who've accepted their own rejection slowly realize someone might actually want to be around them.
Nineteen-year-old Tsukimi Kurashita has loved jellyfish since her late mother took her to an aquarium as a child. She hopes to become an illustrator and shares Amamizukan, an apartment building with a strict ban on men, with five other unemployed otaku women. Her life shifts when a fashionable beauty helps her save a jellyfish at a pet store and later stays in her room. The glamorous guest turns out to be Kuranosuke Koibuchi, a wealthy male college student. When the women risk losing their home, he sets out to remake the group of outcasts into a picture of success. Tsukimi must decide whether to take her chance to bloom. The show is a romantic comedy with a slice-of-life feel.
