Afterwards, she attends a gourmet meeting at a restaurant. There, she talks about her school reunion.

Eventually, she asks Seiji to mentor her on how to catch men to which Seiji agrees. What follows is a series of mishaps and triumphs and adventures as Miyabi does her best to be the 'type' of woman men want.
Divorcee Kenta who quit his job and is working in his family's laundry shop while Akehi, his former girlfriend from junior high who is a housewife but has an unhappy marriage. The two of them become drawn to each other again after the alumni reunion despite the circumstances they are in. On the other hand, Kaoruko who is beautiful and clever but has grown not to trust men due to a failed relationship and doesn't pay attention to her looks anymore. After the alumni reunion, she finds herself being involved with Ryosuke who is a playboy and never sticks to one woman for long.
Both are comedy-dramas about women in the much-feared around-40 demographic, thought to be the point of no return if a career path is chosen and having a family is not an option society will grant...but these women have a different sense of who they are and what they want in life on their own terms, even if they know they actually can't have it all.
