Story Introduction: A Love Triangle Comedy Sparked by a Hole in the Wall
Pardon the Intrusion, I'm Home! tells the story of a peculiar cohabitation life that begins due to an accident.
For 24-year-old office lady Rinko Nakama, the greatest comfort after work every day is returning home to enjoy her anime time. However, whenever she watches anime, her neighbor to the right would violently "bang on the wall" in protest.
On one occasion, with the help of her left neighbor, Akito Satsuki, Rinko attempts to communicate through the wall with her right neighbor. Unexpectedly, an accident occurs—the wall gets kicked in! Appearing from the hole is none other than the right neighbor, Haruma Usada, who is also the very manga artist Rinko admires most.
To make matters more chaotic, the wall in Akito's room also suffers damage, connecting all three rooms through a large hole in the wall. And so, a "mutated" shared living arrangement full of laughs and heart-fluttering moments officially begins.
