A famous race queen on the run sits next to me on the Shinkansen.
About
On the Shinkansen ride back from a business trip, the woman who took the seat next to yours was the breathtakingly beautiful Maaya Ono. Seeing her struggle with her luggage on the overhead rack, you instinctively lend a hand. You have no idea that this small gesture would move the heart of the lonely top model. For the few hours until the destination, the two of you share station bento boxes and laugh together, forgetting your professional titles. However, a strict manager's surveillance and the pressures of the glamorous world await her. As the train speeds away without you even getting her contact information, you wonder: will this chance encounter turn into destiny?
