''-- synopsis by'' '''awrittensin'''
 
 
When she was young, she was the top of her class, the kind that everyone wants to be. But nowadays, she's just your everyday run-of-the-mill girl.
 
 
 
Machi, and her younger brother live in a condominium together, because her parents moved elsewhere for work. Downstairs from them, a whole 10 yards away, is their grandma's veterinary clinic, where their grandma works as a vet.
 
"My life is boring now that I am an adult"
 
 
 
Machi looked up to her grandma since she was a child, and wanted to become a vet, like her grandma from around the same time. So that is why she studied so hard, and didn't give into the temptations that were always around her. But avoiding those temptations were never really hard for her. The problem is, being a vet isn't all that it was cracked up to be.
 
 
 
"My life is nothing special...no real told hardships and no real fun.
 
 
 
Now that she has the chance to look back on her younger years, she realizes that she's never even experienced love. She's never met "Mr. Right," and that's why she hasn't, well, you know... It's not that she wanted to keep her virginity until she was married, or that she's even tried to protect. In fact, she had plenty of opportunities, but just thought that it was something to give to the one she loved.
 
 
 
"So that's why she's still a virgin at 27"
 
 
 
When you're a top student, everyone is watching you, and you have to live up to their expectations. But now she's starting to get a little worried that she hasn't made the big plunge yet.
 
 
 
"Maybe this stuff about giving it to the one you love is nonsense. These days everybody is getting married a little older, but being this age and never having sex is abnormal. No joke, this is sad. I mean come on, everyone around me thinks I'm an "adult" already."
 
 
 
So Machi sets the clock for her "first time" at 28, but decides maybe she shouldn't wait until so long. It doesn't matter who the guy is, especially if I just do it with someone that I just meet for the first time, then there won't be any long last commitments or anything. Suddenly she gets angry with herself after thinking about doing such a terrible deed. Even her beloved Bruce Lee is saying it "Don't think, feel."
 
 
 
After all of this worrying, Machi runs into a man...to be precise, she runs into someone that she hasn't seen for years-someone from her grade school days, someone that she spent some good times with in Sapporo. His name, Takumi Hirota ([[Fujiki Naohito]]). Takumi was really good-looking when he transferred into Machi's grade school.
 
 
 
"I was making a big mistake! You only have one "first time," so I have to be careful about who I share it with!!
 
 
 
Then she sets her eyes on the target!! --- ''Fuji TV''
