Yet he has a heart that is more human than any human in existence.

He is a uniquely cute monster who longs to be human.
One fateful day, he meets a young woman. In despair, he no longer wants to meet humans. They scare him tremendously. He fears that they won't accept him. But he wants to meet, talk, and laugh with humans.

Until one day, the monster falls in love with a human.

It's a love that won't bear fruit, for his body holds a secret that prevents him from touching any human being.
