Gaps

Naoyuki Hasegawa, 37 years old, is a dedicated professional whose work life is impeccable, though he's recently become conscious of how his personal habits have taken a toll on his health and lifestyle. Satoshi Katagiri, 30 years old, appears to be the ideal colleague - charming, intelligent, well-liked by everyone at the company, and seemingly living a perfect life. However, beneath their carefully maintained facades, both men harbor private struggles and hidden aspects of themselves that they keep from the world. When a chance encounter brings these two together in an unexpected setting, they begin to see beyond each other's public personas, discovering that everyone has layers they're unwilling to show at work. This is a story about the masks we wear and what happens when two people who've perfected their professional images find themselves wanting to be truly seen. (Source: Taiyo Tosho, translated)
