Enji Kamisato and Suzume Yobane are two genius scientists who have developed an android named Alma-chan. They designed her to be able to learn from experience and give reports about these experiences. However, because the pair created her, Alma thinks that the two are actually her parents. Using her powers, she edits the Japanese marriage registry to register them as husband and wife. The two must now live together with Alma, raising them as their daughter, all while dealing with their own feelings as a reluctant couple.
