Plot

In the curious world of Kakeru Diachi, an avid collector of unique juice cans, an unforeseen encounter turns everyday life into an extraordinary adventure. When Kakeru attempts to enjoy a drink from one such can, he finds himself face-to-face with a captivating girl. Christened Melon, in a playful nod to her melon-soda essence, Kakeru soon realizes that she's not just any girl - she's an Akikan, a mesmerizing fusion of girl and can, born from an eccentric experiment to pit steel against aluminum. This wildly imaginative research project spirals beyond Kakeru's wildest dreams, injecting a whirlwind of chaos into his previously mundane existence. Now, the steel-bodied Melon, reliant on carbon dioxide, is irrevocably intertwined with his life due to her unique biological needs. The plot thickens when Najimi, Kakeru's affluent and charming childhood friend, stumbles upon her own aluminum Akikan. As the battle between steel and aluminum intensifies, Kakeru's ordinary world is transformed into an epicenter of unexpected challenges and intrigue. In the peculiar reality of Akikan, it's not just about collecting cans anymore - it's about navigating a life interlaced with beautifully bizarre beings and the perpetual question: steel or aluminum?
