Outline

The central figure of the story is a female professional gamer living in a rundown apartment. As her relationship with her nihilistic boyfriend undergoes a change, a group of unique neighbors, friends, and her younger brother appear, throwing her life into chaos. Beneath the lighthearted touch lies a portrayal of the despair faced by young people in modern society—a despair that cannot be fully grasped through subcultural elements alone—and their determination to move forward despite it all. This work was selected as a finalist for the 68th Kishida Kunio Drama Award and received high acclaim. Cast: Nagiko Tsuji, Hitomi Uneda, Teppei Migikiki, Jun Hosoi, Jiro Omiya, Satomi Houho , Kanari Hoshino, and Suzuyuki Kaneko. Written and directed by Suzuyuki Kaneko.
