A boy who stopped expecting anything from life.A girl who finds everything interesting.And a river that refuses to let them stay strangers. After moving to his sister's apartment in Kawagishi, a quiet riverside city, our protagonist spends his days doing nothing — observing, expecting nothing, and definitely not looking for a "light novel moment." Until a bicycle, a girl, and a very cold river prove him wrong. She calls their meeting an accident.He calls her "Disastrous Girl".But neither of them knows yet —Some meetings aren’t meant to feel like accidents at all.
