Story
Tokita Mayuko had researched fibres in university and hoped to get employment with a textile manufacturer. However, she unexpectedly finds a job with ‘Emotion’, an order-made luxury lingerie brand in Ginza, despite a complete disinterest in fashion. The company president, Nanjo Mayumi, is an icon who has led the Japanese lingerie industry since the brand was established 25 years ago and her staff work with pride. Mayuko experiences confusion in a world with a new set of values different from any she has ever known in the countryside where she comes from. But she gradually falls under the spell of her job and grows with the help of the people around her.
