- Synopsis
- Towa has a crush on Sonoko, a woman who works at his local convenience store, and spends his days working at a gardening shop wondering what she must be like. Upon waking in the morning, he wonders how she’s doing today. If they were to walk together, would she walk on ahead of him? But then how adorable the view of her back is.
  Until he found Sonoko, Towa had never thought of having a girlfriend. He felt he would run out of time thinking about it. He’s the type of person who stuffs his pockets with article clippings of things that trouble him. There’s England’s Brexit or the destruction of mankind from the extinction of honeybees. But now his head is full of thoughts of Sonoko. If he could only speak to her. But what would he say? Unsure how to approach her, he comes up with a brilliant idea to lay down a path of leaves from the convenience store to where he is, thus luring her straight to him. When at last the two begin exchanging words, nobody around them can understand them, which only serves to deepen their bonds. But there is something that Sonoko is struggling to express. Still, this eccentric man, Towa, and this peculiar woman, Sonoko, have embarked upon a relationship only they can understand to create a world all their own. Now that’s a love story.
