"Last night you were a stranger; today, I want to know you all over again."
About
—Friday night.
Mamoru Shibuyama, a 41-year-old office worker who declined a drinking invitation, stopped by a bar alone. There, he happened to sit next to someone and shared a drink and some idle conversation.
He doesn't clearly remember what they talked about.
He only knows that for that one night, he felt strangely at ease.
And then, the next morning.
When he opened his eyes, the stranger he had just met last night was sleeping right next to him.
—This was something the old Mamoru would never have done.
Despite his confusion, one certain emotion remained in his heart.
He didn't want his relationship with this person to end here.
A man who chose a life that was ordinary, peaceful, and beyond reproach is facing his own "wants" for the very first time.
This is a story of a slightly late youth, beginning from a single night.
