Synopsis
SynopsisSalaried worker Yoshida has been in love with his coworker, Airi Gotou, for five years. Despite finally managing to get a date with her, his confession is promptly rejected. Drunk and disappointed, he stumbles home, only to find a high school girl sitting by the side of the road. The girl, needing a place to spend the night, tries to seduce Yoshida. Despite rejecting her advances, he invites her to his apartment.
The following morning, the girl, introducing herself as Sayu Ogiwara, reveals that she ran away from Hokkaido to Tokyo. During her six months on the run, she traded sexual favors for a roof over her head. Yoshida, however, remains indifferent to her seduction. Instead, he asks her to do a different kind of work – one that involves washing dishes, laundry, and housework. And so, a poignant relationship between a heartbroken adult and a runaway high school girl begins.
