The(ir) Blurb...

Jun Hashimoto (Ren Kiriyama) is a sci-fi novel writer, but he isn't popular at all. He lives off of his savings. One day, his editor, Tateyama (Masanobu Sakata), assigns him a job. He is to write a short story for a web magazine oriented towards youths. The theme of the short story is 'love.' Jun Hashimoto at first refuses, because he has never written a love story before, but Tateyama pushes him to write the short story. The deadline is imminent. Jun's childhood friend Keisuke Murata (Shigeaki Kato) then appears in front of him. Jun complains to Keisuke that he can't write a love story. While talking to Keisuke, Jun comes up with an idea and begins to write his love story.
