【STORY】
Kanako Saotome started living alone with a friend upon entering university. At the entrance ceremony, she meets Nagatsuda, who aspires to be a playwright in the “Charing Cross” theater club, and they decide to go out together.
After completing her job search, she finds a job at a major publishing company, which she had longed for. They have known each other for three years, but recently they have been quarreling constantly. Nagatsuda is all talk and no writing until the end of the script and doesn't seem to have any intention of graduating. He is even suspected of having an affair with Maiko, a first-year student at a women's college who has joined his circle. Then, Kanako receives a confession of love from Yoshizawa, a senior student at the school where she has been offered a job.
Kanako, who is pursuing her dream of becoming an editor, gradually comes to differ with Nagatsuda's way of life. Ten years have passed since they entered university, and the conflicts and doubts that each of them faces, as well as the course of their love affair, remain to be seen.
