Synopsis

Toko (Fukatsu Eri), decides after she turns 30 that she is all but ready to give up on any future career hopes or romance, so she turns to the bottle for comfort. She knows that this isn't the best thing, but can't find the strength right now to do anything except choose the easy way to do things. This causes her to start getting down on herself. Luckily though, she doesn't give up hope completely, and tries to take things as they come. Which proves to help to some degree.

Suddenly, one day, she's offered to join a small company started by a star designer Nukui Kotaro (Tsutsumi Shinichi). Like Toko, Kotaro hasn't had much luck at work either. Even so, this is still the same guy that Toko admired when she was younger. Naturally, Toko is thrilled to be able to work with the man and quits her stable job at a large corporation, but eventually finds out that he is about as insensitive as you can get, and is self-centered to boot. This really gets to Toko. What's even worse is that her invitation was just an unfortunate misunderstanding and Kotaro isn't interested at all to keep her at the company.
