Synopsis – Cultural Exchange with a Game Centre Girl

Renji Kusakabe, a discreet employee in an arcade, sees his daily life turn upside down when he encounters a mysterious young foreigner determined to win a plush 'Manly Koala' in a claw machine. After hours of fruitless attempts, Renji, touched by her perseverance, decides to help her and successfully makes the catch on his first try. Caught off guard by the girl's suspicious gaze, he offers her the plush toy, saying it's a Valentine's Day gift.

What he doesn't know is that in the girl's home country, England, giving a gift on Valentine's Day is equivalent to a declaration of love. This small gesture will then trigger a series of misunderstandings, awkward moments, and perhaps... the birth of a sincere feeling.
