Synopsis
Quiet Japanese office worker Toono meets mysterious blue-eyed Brit Lewis, who claims they know each other from the past.
Arata Toono has lived in the same sleepy seaside town his entire life. Employed at a small IT firm, each day seems to blend into the next. Yet his quiet life is shaken up when his company announces they've hired a new employee—a gorgeous blue-eyed Brit named Lewis! At first Toono is taken aback by his foreign colleague's touchy-feely mannerisms and blunt manner of speaking, but it quickly becomes obvious to him that there's something unspoken behind those blue eyes that follow him around the office. So when Lewis suddenly asks if Toono remembers him, he's understandably thrown for a loop. Just who is this hunky ex-pat and how does he know Toono?! (Source: Seven Seas Entertainment)
