What occurs when people wait together at a railroad crossing? Perhaps they talk about the crossing itself or comment on the scenery, perhaps they simply stand in silence… or perhaps they use the time as an opportunity to get to know each other better.

A gag comedy which explores a variety of situations, from common to outlandish, with varying degrees of slice of life, romance, and ecchi elements.

Dennis was born with genius-level intelligence, and as a result his mad scientist parents didn’t feel it necessary to genetically modify him as they did his four siblings. Growing up on an island laboratory he never felt his siblings’ abilities or the constant experiments were odd, until the day his parents were arrested and he got a chance to see the outside world. Even so, he’s much better equipped than the others to adapt to life in the general population and it falls to him to help them survive among normal people.

A slice of life drama focused on family dynamics lightened by intermittent splashes of comic relief.
