Plot
Yamamura (Kenta Kawasaki), an anime otaku since his school days, hid his passion while living as a delinquent. Back then, he fell in love at first sight with transfer student Akiko (Kazusa Okuyama), only to be heartbroken. Years later, on the way to a regular family meeting, Yamamura, Joji (Takashi Kitadai), and Ishizawa (Hiroto Honda) stop by a café—where Joji and Ishizawa both instantly fall for the waitress, Akiko. Seeing the trio completely smitten, self-proclaimed love expert Nakashima (Yoshimi Tachi) offers to investigate her tastes, but secretly begins dating her himself. Determined to confess, Yamamura visits Akiko’s home, only to be met by her troubled expression. Behind it all is Horiuchi, a café regular who had always lingered on the edge of her world. Learning the truth, Yamamura races to save Akiko from her situation.
