Synopsis

Kengo (Kento Hayashi) is a man in step with the times. He never leaves his apartment without a face mask and gloves. When he comes home, he scrubs his hands furiously with soap and gets busy with the disinfectant. Kengo meets his match when he crosses paths with Hijiri (Nana Komatsu), a high schooler who’s suffering from a debilitating case of scopophobia, the fear of being seen. She’s terrified of looking people in the eyes, and wears a chunky set of headphones to shut out the world.

After some initial friction, the pair resolve to attempt to reintegrate into society, finding that it’s easier with a fellow sufferer by their side. But as they also start to develop feelings for one another, the question lingers: Are their emotions genuine, or is it just the parasites controlling their behavior?
