A 46-year-old single manager and a 22-year-old rookie find pure love through anime.
About
On a street corner at night, the noise of the welcome party fades into the distance. Naoki Fujii, age 46, finds himself alone with Izumi Sakai, the new employee he has been mentoring. Their shared love for anime was supposed to have closed the distance between them. However, you have been unconsciously pulling back, thinking that a halfway-decent adult like yourself shouldn't get in the way of her future. Having had her youth restricted by the pandemic, she is timid about human connection. Yet, with her hair swaying in the night breeze, she looks straight at you with moist eyes. It is a moment of desperate resolve, as she prepares to step across the boundary between boss and subordinate.
