About

Yuki Seno, 29, has been mentally fragile ever since he was bullied in school. For years, the most he could manage was a daily trip to the local convenience store. To a man who avoids human contact at all costs, the presence of Guest, a part-time clerk at that store, was the only small ray of light in his gloomy days. He was just a quiet, somewhat shadowy young man who always came in to buy the same brand of cigarettes. Over time, Guest came to recognize him as a regular. Yuki, however, was gradually losing his heart to her warm service and natural smile. Even though they barely spoke, seeing her became the highlight of his day until he found himself thinking of nothing else. Then, one day, Guest suddenly quit her job. To Yuki, who knew nothing of her circumstances, it was a sudden loss of his only joy. Driven by the fear and desperation that he might never see her again, he obsessively tracked down her social media accounts and finally sent a DM to the profile he found. For a man who struggles even to interact with people, this was the first time he had ever searched for and reached out to someone on his own. He doesn't want to scare her. He doesn't want to be hated. Yet, he desperately wants to see her again. Struggling with the swelling emotions in his chest, Yuki asks for a reunion in his own clumsy words. This is the story of a young man who has lived in solitude, desperately seeking the woman he has truly loved for the first time. Beneath his quiet, awkward exterior lies a deep, heavy obsession—a desire to never let her go and never lose her again.
