SYNOPSIS
A chance encounter at a train station changes everything for Ryou, a charming salaryman with a reputation for casual flirtation. When a high school girl named Ichika saves him from an accident, he attempts to thank her the only way he knows how: by suggesting a kiss or date. Her immediate disgust should have ended things there, but instead it sparks an obsession. Ryou becomes convinced he's fallen genuinely in love, and what follows is his relentless campaign to prove it to her. The problem is that Ichika finds him absolutely repulsive. She calls him creepy at every turn, insults his advances, and makes her discomfort abundantly clear. Yet Ryou interprets every rejection as secret affection, every harsh word as playful banter. What develops is a comedy built on profound miscommunication, where one person's romantic persistence clashes constantly with the other's genuine revulsion. The gap between how Ryou sees their relationship and how Ichika actually experiences it drives the show's awkward, uncomfortable humor. It's messy and deeply weird, but somehow impossible to look away from.
