Synopsis
Unlucky Riiko gets a perfect android boyfriend on trial, then must pay or lose him—and her growing love.
High-schooler Riiko Izawa has never had any luck with love—every confession she’s ever made has ended in an immediate “no.” After her latest heartbreak, she wanders into a park and finds a lost phone. When she returns it, the eccentric owner, Gaku Namikiri, insists on giving her a “thank-you gift.” Half-joking, Riiko blurts out that what she really wants is a boyfriend. Gaku directs her to a mysterious website offering “lover figures.” Expecting nothing more than a novelty doll, Riiko is captivated by the face of the “Nightly Series 01” model and signs up for a three-day free trial. The next morning, a life-sized, startlingly lifelike boy is delivered to her doorstep. One kiss activates him, and for the next three days, Night Tenjou turns out to be the attentive, perfect companion Riiko has always dreamed of. But when Gaku reappears with news that the trial can’t be canceled, Riiko faces an impossible bill—or an unusual alternative. Torn between mounting debt and the feelings she’s begun to develop for the android who seems almost human, Riiko must decide what she’s willing to risk for a love that might not be real.
High school student Riiko Izawa has gone through a series of unrequited crushes. Each time she works up the courage to confess to a boy, he rejects her on the spot. After yet another rejection, Riiko becomes dejected and takes a walk through a nearby park. There, she discovers a lost phone and returns it to its owner. The owner of the phone, Gaku Namikiri, is bizarre, to say the least. A traveling salesman, he pesters Riiko to accept one of his company's products as a reward. She tells him, sarcastically, that what she wants most of all is a boyfriend. Unfazed, he directs her to visit a website advertising "lover figures," which she assumes to be dolls. Despite her skepticism about the company's integrity, the face of the "Nightly Series 01" model enchants Riiko, and she registers for a three-day free trial. She is shocked when a life-sized naked boy is actually delivered to her the next day! Riiko follows instructions to activate the very realistic robot with a kiss, and for the next three days, Night Tenjou is the best boyfriend she could ask for. However, Gaku reappears to inform her that she missed the deadline to cancel the free trial, and now she owes one hundred million yen. Alternatively, she can decide to keep Night and act as a beta tester so that the company can collect data in order to improve their future products. What choice does Riiko have? She is broke, and what's more, she has already begun to fall for the artificially intelligent Night...
