Plot

To them, Hito or humans were nothing more than mythical, fictional creatures. Only a few, those who are called Hitoner, showed any interest in Hito.
However, one day, an Earthling astronaut landed on the planet of Kemo. And then, two races with different appearances awkwardly begin to interact in an attempt to understand each other.
