CGiii Comment

Hokuriku and Kanazawa. Risa in her 30s works for a local magazine company and her work has become interesting. After she started living with Takumi, she began to feel pressure from her family and surroundings to marry and give birth. "Your happiness is my happiness," she emphasizes. The main character, Risa wonders, "What is happiness for me?" Then, little by little, the two of them pass each other.
On the other hand, the story progresses through an incident with her best friend Mako, who mutters, "I want to get married someday."

A refreshing short growth story in which Risa finds and accepts "me" against the backdrop of beautiful contrasting scenery such as Kanazawa's old tourist spot "Nakahashi" and scenes at the new JR Kanazawa Station where the Hokuriku Shinkansen has opened.
