Plot

In the heart of the city's corporate maze, Kou Ichinomiya stands as a paragon of perfection. Blessed with striking looks, sharp intellect, and robust independence, he's the young prodigy set to inherit a colossal empire. Kou's life takes an unexpected plunge when he finds himself tumbling into the Arakawa River, his life hanging by a thread. Salvation arrives in the form of Nino, a peculiar girl who calls the community beneath the Arakawa Bridge her home. Bound by the stringent Ichinomiya family code to never remain in debt, Kou finds himself owing Nino a life-debt. Her peculiar repayment request? Kou must become her lover and join her eccentric world under the bridge. Thus, Kou's journey into the heart of the Arakawa underworld begins, a realm brimming with whimsical residents whose peculiarities are as flamboyant as their personalities. From a star-masked musician to a battle-hardened veteran masquerading as a nun, a dangerous femme fatale running a farm to a samurai hairdresser, all under the leadership of a man in vibrant green. Despite the madness, Kou gradually realizes that beneath the bridge, among the quirkiest of companions, he's found a home. Arakawa's underbelly, so alien yet endearing, slowly transforms the perfect man's perfect life in ways he'd never imagined.
