A young woman in a committed relationship falls for a handsome scholar.

Overview

Kyoko is a university librarian and she also helps her parents with their drycleaning company. She is involved with a childhood friend from the neighborhood, Kota. He is the son of the local tofu maker and has begun a moderately successful career as a stand-up comedian.

But Kyoko cannot decide.
