Description:

This film delves into the intriguing premise of becoming the object of a perfect man's obsession. Waka, a librarian who prioritizes her personal interests over romantic love, faces a dilemma as she seeks a new residence to accommodate her vast book collection. Her life takes an unforeseen turn when she unexpectedly reunites with Shinobu, a researcher who, in a memorable high school incident, spontaneously kissed her while they were reading "A Fool's Love."

Their lives suddenly intertwine as they begin to live together. Shinobu, holding a strong unrequited love for Waka, dedicates himself to persuading her. Yet, Waka, firm in her belief that pursuing her passions is more fulfilling than love, immediately turns down his heartfelt confession.
