Makoto Kiyotaka has just entered his second year of high school, and by every metric, he's average. However, if you told him that, he'd strong disagree. If there's one thing he's certain about, it's that he's special—special because of his "future" in writing. Yet, time after time, contest after contest, he has failed.

Being one of only two members of the writing club, Makoto has a goal of winning a writing contest, getting published, and having his work sold in stores. Along the way to reach that goal, if he even does, he will meet some "eccentric" personalities.
