We met at an orphanage and grew up together. Hiro has always been following my footsteps – going to the same school, the same company, the same overseas team... He’s really like a loyal dog, always following my pace, listening and obeying everything I say or do, and helping me solve some issues. Actually, he's gifted, smart, and even more capable than me. Feeling inferior, I harshly told him, “Don’t follow me around anymore!"

Eri is careful to hide his true character. As luck would have it, one of the new teacher assistants under his care is Motou, an old student from his past. What will Eri do, faced with those candid eyes? Thus begins the tale - spanning over years - of a romance between a faithful teacher assistant and a masquerading teacher. In the same cram school, love is budding between Motou's hardworking friend, Izumi, and another awkward teacher named Makino. Their story is told in "Together".
