A still-single 40-year-old Nakahara Aki has a successful career but struggles when it comes to love.

At work, Aki has been put in charge of developing a role-playing romance game app with a group of team members who are all younger than Aki.

At their first meeting, the two get into an argument when Fumio makes a comment about being 40 and still being infatuated with crush-like romance...
