Story
29-year-old Masaki Makoto has transferred to a company in Tokyo from Shizuoka. He has no luck with women and difficulty dating for some reason so his romances keep ending in breakups. Then one day, a mysterious guy who proclaims himself “god”, suddenly appears in front of Makoto. He bluntly tells Makoto all of a sudden, “I’m afraid you’re being deceived” on the subject of the woman whom Makoto is currently dating and believes to be person of his destiny. Makoto gets mad but the mysterious guy turns on the TV and he sees the woman being arrested as a suspect in a scheme to trick men into compromising situations and blackmail them. Maktoto is stunned and laments his bad luck. The “god” says, “That’s because you have a true soul mate. You haven’t realised it yet, but only a wall separates you from the one you must fall in love with.” Then he holds out a photograph of Kogetsu Haruko to him. But Makoto does not know Haruko. The “god” tells him that even though he is not acquainted with Haruko, they have actually crossed paths many times – at the beach when he was 5 years old, at the venue for their university entrance exam and at their first visit to a shrine in the New Year this year. And now, she works in the office next to his company. And yet they do not know each other’s name nor recognise each other’s face. Haruko will be 30 this year and has not been lucky with men. She hopes to be romantically involved with someone who is reliable and practical and thinks, “Let’s make the next person the last romance”. Makoto is skeptical about this curious destiny that the mysterious man had told him about. The next day, he happens to ride in the same elevator with Haruko and gets flustered. However, he musters the courage to call out to her in what is almost their first meeting, “Er, I’m the man of your destiny.” But Haruko naturally finds his sudden declaration creepy and he is rejected in spectacular fashion. That is how their love story begins from this disastrous encounter. Even after this, Makoto naively continues his attack in the belief that Haruko is the one for him.
