Synopsis
Series | Japan
Azuma Sakutaro is a 38-year-old gay man who is currently unemployed. In the past, he worked as an ace pharmaceutical sales representative, but when his performance began to decline in his mid-thirties, he became increasingly anxious as people around him moved forward with marriage or career changes. Feeling left behind, he eventually reached his mental and physical limits and suddenly resigned. Now he lives at his sister’s house, spending his days sleeping late and going out at night.
One evening at a gay bar, Sakutaro is nearly forced into a hotel by a man he just met. At that moment, he is helped by Kuji Shizuka, a former coworker and rival from his pharmaceutical company days. Eight years earlier, the two had competed as top sales representatives at the same company, and on the day Kuji left the company, they spent a single night together.
Kuji now works as a medical translator and lives a different life from before. Their unexpected reunion after eight years brings their once-sealed, one-time relationship back to the surface, setting their lives in motion again as they reconnect.
