On planet Amoi, a great society has developed, creating a computerized city called Tanagura, ruled by a supercomputer, Jupiter. The populace is almost entirely male and is based on hair color; light-haired men, "blondies", are the elites, and dark-haired are the bottom of society, often known as "mongrels". Blondies keep young boys as "pets" for a few years to perform sexual actions for the Blondie's voyeurism entertainment. Blondies aren't supposed to keep pets for long or interact sexually with pets, but one blondie named Iason Mink has kept a pet named Riki for years and is rumored to sleep with him. Iason refuses to let go of Riki, even with Jupiter's disapproval. Iason is obsessed with keeping Riki, and Riki doesn't know what to do; fight against him or surrender to him, nor what to do about his old friend/lover Guy and their gang.

Long ago, all humans lived beneath the sea. However, some people preferred the surface and abandoned living underwater permanently. As a consequence, they were stripped of their god-given protection called "Ena" which allowed them to breathe underwater. Over time, the rift between the denizens of the sea and of the surface widened, although contact between the two peoples still existed. This show follows the story of Hikari Sakishima and Manaka Mukaido, along with their childhood friends Chisaki Hiradaira and Kaname Isaki, who are forced to leave the sea and attend a school on the surface. There, the group also meets Tsumugu Kihara, a fellow student and fisherman who loves the sea. Hikari and his friends' lives are bound to change as they have to deal with the deep-seated hatred and discrimination between the people of sea and of the surface, the storms in their personal lives, as well as an impending tempest which may spell doom for all who dwell on the surface.
