Nobiro is an elementary school student in grade two. His parents have gone to Africa on business, and while they are away, Nobiro is staying with the family of his father's good friends, Otengu. Otengu and his wife, Metengu, take good care of Nobiro as if he was their own son. But in fact, Otengu and Metengu are not human. They are crow goblins. The Otengu family live in apartment 305 of a very tall building called "Monster Heights". Nobiro's school, "Monster School", is found on the 101st floor, on the roof of the tower. A high-speed elevator takes the students up to school each day.
