Ichiko is happy with Eri and wants the people closest to her to know it. Coming out to her father produces an unexpected response, opening questions about her family that she had never thought to ask. Eri is less comfortable making her own relationship public, and the difference begins to affect the life the women are building together. Friends, work and family histories complicate an apparently straightforward wish to be open about love. Based on Ebine Yamaji's manga, Koji Kawano's drama follows a young couple discovering that honesty is rarely a single conversation, and that accepting someone also means making space for uncertainties different from your own.
