Synopsis: 28-year-old Kase Taeko (Honda Tsubasa) works at an event company and is fed up with a life where she is always “not selected”. Even on this day, she gets a dressing down from her CEO Itokawa Hiroki (Hamatsu Takayuki) for a mistake that she made at the company. When she returns home, her boyfriend tells her that he wants to break up. Taeko starts using a dating app at the recommendation of Takagi Haruto (Nomura Shuhei), a cafe employee that she knows. Although she has difficulty getting “likes” even on the app, she is eventually matched with Hasegawa Makoto (Sugino Yosuke), a man with good specs, after some instructions from Haruto who is a self-proclaimed app expert. Taeko prepares thoroughly for her first date. But Makoto is surly and says a lot of offensive things even though he looks handsome. She has the worst impression of him. While Haruto publicly professes that sex is his objective, he is swayed by the suggestive behaviour of the beautiful and mysterious Mikami Sakiko (Sumi Reina) whom he met through the app, and just barely manages to dodge each time. Taeko’s 40-year-old boss Itokawa is lonely because his wife has run away. He is matched with a university student Shimada Mikako (Yamamoto Maika) through the app but Mikako’s objective is to make him treat her to meals. As their feelings intertwine, the day of the decisive battle finally comes. How will the romances of these three groups turn out?
