Synopsis

Yururi Mai likes tidying up more than her three meals a day. One day, Mai suddenly became conscious of decluttering and was driven by the urge to discard the contents of her messy room. Since then, she has got rid of stacks of books, mementos, furniture, plates, utensils, clothes and even towels besides the bare necessities in life. The remote controls and small objects are all on shelves. Friends who visit are astonished by the spartan, spacious apartment which has nothing and call Mai a “decluttering freak”. But Mai knows how good it feels to throw things away. She has made a habit of decluttering without any regard for the people around her and achieved a life with “nothing”. However, decluttering is a thorny path. There is discord between her and her mother Fumi and grandmother Hatsuko who are reluctant to throw away anything because “it’s a shame”. Her emotional support is her husband Tsutomu-kun with a big heart like Buddha and their two cats. As Mai battles with Fumi and Hatsuko and lives with Tsutomu, she starts to reexamine objects and living.
