Pardon the Intrusion, I'm Home!

Rinko Nakama is a twenty four year old office worker who keeps her private life separate from everyone around her. After work she hurries home to watch anime and read her favorite series in peace, hiding her interests from coworkers and family. Her apartment stops being a safe retreat when noise complaints from the neighbor on her right turn into constant wall pounding. The neighbor on her left, Akito Satsuki, acts gentle and helpful, so Rinko asks him to speak to the angry man next door. The situation breaks open when the wall between rooms is damaged and Rinko discovers that the hostile neighbor is Haruma Usada, the creator behind the work she has been following. Soon her home is no longer private. Holes connect the three apartments, Akito and Haruma keep entering her daily routine, and Rinko is pushed into cooking, cover stories, and awkward favors she never agreed to. Akito’s sweetness hides unclear motives, while Haruma’s temper clashes with the fact that he lives beside one of his own readers. Rinko tries to keep her job, her fandom, and her dignity intact while two mysterious neighbors turn simple evenings into negotiations over food, privacy, and trust. What began as a quiet life alone becomes a shared space where every wall is unreliable and every secret is close enough to overhear.
