Her name is Yuka, an ordinary woman around thirty, who happens to live in Utsusemi-So.
The cicada sees loneliness in her face, and decides to become a human to grant her wish as a token of his gratitude for sawing his life.
Yuka has no idea why she is living together with this boy, and as the cicada boy knows nothing about the human world, Yuka is surprised by his strange words and behaviors. But his never-ending wish to make her happy makes her fall in love with this prince-like cicada boy. However, once above the ground, a cicada has only seven days to live….

Sho doesn’t work and is mooching off his girlfriend, Yuriko. He believes he cannot achieve anything (maybe except for online games), so he doesn’t look for a job and doesn’t do anything that might tire him. Yuriko is dying to change his way of life and thinks of ways that will make Sho work… When she lies to him saying, “I lost my job!!” …It does not work… He smiles and says “We can be happy without money.” She fails over and over again because nothing can get him going. Yes, he is an expert in mooching!! Will Yuriko give up ? Or will Sho finally start working??
