The series starts with the fresh, wide-eyed Ai Tanabe starting her astronaut career in the Half Section. This is the aforementioned garbage collectors, who are underfunded despite the importance of their work. The romance of Tanabe's vision of being an astronaut is quickly shattered when she is paired with Hachirota "Hachimaki" Hoshino, an outwardly rowdy astronaut who is more whimsical than he first appears, wanting to buy his own spaceship one day. However, it's not long before Tanabe realizes that the romance of space is something her…...
