Akane is 28 years old and works as a director at a web production company. She is busy and fulfilled every day, but her work is all-consuming. To be honest, she doesn't have time for a lover who can heal her....
One day, when her mind and body are at the limit of exhaustion, Fukatsuki, a junior colleague, proposes a relationship in which they simply hug each other!
It is true that hugging can reduce people's stress,
but is it right to ask a co-worker to do such a thing? But when he puts his arms around her, it feels so natural as she relaxes...
A heart-pounding healing love story between a tired girl and a younger guy that starts with a hug!
