Mio Sudo, a 30-year-old office worker, has lived without a boyfriend for five years and has completely forgotten what it's like to be in love. Shuji Mashima, an insurance consultant, was last in a relationship seven years ago and has almost lost interest in women. They meet on "speed-dates," and Mio finds Shuji's behavior disgusting when he declares: "I don't like women." Mio makes a provocative comment about Shuji, and then things take an unexpected turn. -
