Business Overview
The story is set in Yokohama's "Slant Mansion," which made headlines in the autumn of 2015. The young couple, who were the only renters, readily accept the defects of the apartment and decide to leave. But that judgment is not based on tolerance. Or not from servility. One possible reason for this is their daily attitude of "mild anxiety." The generation born in and after the late 1980s, who are described as having known nothing but the recession, has a sense of uneasiness that leads them to choose a more realistic way of life. Through a certain way they brought to love between men and women (know-how to live with anxiety), the insincerity of the “normal way of life, ” steeped in prejudice and delusion, is exposed.
