Synopsis

This live-action adaptation is based on the manga of the same name by Marita, originally serialized on the LINE Manga-exclusive label Gene LINE. It’s a love story that follows the subtle “observation” game between the protagonist, Fushigi Mai, who works at a silent café and her younger coworker, Kamishimo Ryo, known for his friendly, close-knit interactions with others. As Mai spends more time with Ryo, she finds herself drawn to him but struggles to take the first step due to a past trauma from her first love. Meanwhile, Ryo also becomes increasingly interested in Mai, with feelings that overflow despite his cool exterior.
