One day, Sekine Tasuku, a part-time worker, suddenly gains the ability to produce fire from his hands. While using his power to light a cigarette, his coworker Harumi Ryousuke accidentally catches him in the act. But to Tasuku’s surprise—Ryousuke can produce water!? After work, Ryousuke invites Tasuku to his decades-old, rundown apartment. With a serious expression, he proposes a shocking idea—room-sharing!?!? Though uncertain about their newfound supernatural abilities, Ryousuke seems excited about one unexpected advantage: using fire and water powers to save on gas and water bills. Tasuku, tempted by the idea of splitting rent for a cheaper living arrangement, agrees. Thus begins their unexpected cohabitation, just as Ryousuke had hoped!

Joined by quirky neighbors—Juumonji Munetaka, Tasuku’s cousin Higashi Kouhei, and the mysterious cat-shaped keychain Nyanko that Kouhei found—this is a laid-back, heartwarming slice-of-life story about their frugal yet extraordinary daily adventures!
