Plot

Yuma, a 23-year-old comic book artist with profound cerebral palsy, has been emotionally stunted by her well-meaning but overprotective mother. As she begins to seek independence and sexual awakening on her own terms, she discovers an unexpected path to love and forgiveness.

Yuma is a grown woman now with the obligations and duties that come with it. Never mind that she went 37 seconds without breathing upon birth, which resulted in her developing and living with cerebral palsy. She is differently-abled. She is striving to perform under the duress while juggling an aspiration to become a manga artist. With the world using her, and the reality that comes with her disability, she embarks on a sexual exploration to understand the subject matter demanded of her by an employer.
