A Kyoto university student believes a brief romance with Mizuo has rescued him from an unremarkable college life until she ends the relationship. Unable to accept the breakup gracefully, he retreats into elaborate fantasies and aimless schemes while moving through the city with friends just as eccentric as he is. His exaggerated heartbreak becomes a comic exploration of pride, self-deception, and the stories people tell themselves when reality refuses to follow the romantic script they wanted.
