Synopsis
Plain office worker Narumi and charming coworker Shinonome secretly struggle with intimacy issues and agree to help each other heal through vulnerability.
Narumi, a hardworking but plain office worker, hides a secret from her colleagues: her traumatic dating history, which has led her to take on her alter ego, the popular live streamer Minarin. Her charming coworker, Shinonome, seems like her opposite — handsome, charismatic, and admired by all — but struggles with his own insecurities. When an unexpected taxi ride forces their secrets into the open, they make a deal... to help "train" each other to overcome their touch aversion and fear of intimacy! As Narumi begins to see Shinonome as a path toward healing, they must confront their pasts together. Can this mismatched pair help each other find solace in shared vulnerability? (Source: Tokyopop)
