Plot
In a world where certain individuals deal with unique and abnormal changes during puberty, Damoto Junior High's school nurse Hitomi Manaka does her best to help her patients work through their transition from insecurities to incidents like limbs that just will not stay attached and even shrinking spurts.
Characters

- A cyclops and main heroine of the series who works as the school nurse, nicknamed Nurse Hitomi (ヒトミ先生, Hitomi-sensei). As a cyclops, and the eldest sibling in her family, despite her lack of depth perception, her eye allows her to observe any abnormalities in students to better help them.
- Midori Itsuki (樹翠, Itsuki Midori)

- Yuki Moji (門司勇輝, Moji Yūki)
