Story

“I’m gonna give up...” One day, Takako, a beautiful web designer in her 30s, is filled with anxiety about her undecided future. Her friend Keiko asks her what she wants to do, And Takako decides to begin “konkatsu” (the recent social custom of searching for a spouse). She quickly registers on a “konkatsu” website. But it doesn’t go so well, and she only meets strange guys. What’s more, Takako is too gorgeous, and users on the website don’t believe she is a genuine user, which causes her to become depressed.
Then, Takako meets Sonogi, a clumsy, somewhat goofy guy, and Yatabe, who is charming and is used to being around women. Takako is torn between these two different men. Which one of them is she destined to be with? Will either of them make a suitable marriage partner? But as her goals focus more and more on marriage, Takako loses sight of something...

Notes

This is a romantic comedy depicting the lifestyle of a woman and her activities trying to find a marriage partner in the modern age. It is based on a popular comic, which is the longest selling series on the V Comi manga app (with a total of over 10,000,000 views). This is the first collaboration between director Akiko Oku, known for the long-running hit movie “Tremble All You Want,” and Jiro (Shisonnu), the “King of Conte” known for his one-of-a-kind sensibilities in writing a diary from the perspective of an average middle-age woman in the novel “Amai Osake De Ugai” (“Gargle With Sweet Sake”). The cast brings together capable actors such as Mei Kurokawa, Asami Usuda, Tomoya Nakamura, and Kei Tanaka.
This movie appplauds the modern woman, depicting female friendships, love, and marriage through the lens of “konkatsu,” (the cultural custom of searching for a spouse).
