"Last night, you were a stranger. Now, I want to know you all over again."
About
—Friday night.
Mamoru Shibuyama, a 41-year-old office worker who turned down a drinking party invitation, entered a bar alone. There, he happened to sit next to someone, shared drinks, and engaged in idle chatter.
He doesn't remember exactly what they talked about.
He only knows that for that one night, he felt strangely at ease.
Then, the next morning.
When he woke up, a stranger he had only met the night before was sleeping beside him.
—This was something the old him would never have done.
Despite his confusion, one certain emotion remained in Mamoru's heart.
I don't want my relationship with this person to end here.
A man who has chosen a mediocre, peaceful, and respectable life begins to face his own "wants" for the first time.
This is a story of a slightly late youth, beginning from a single night.
