Kakuhata Kanta has spent eight years as a shut-in, living at home under his mother's care, with zero romantic experience. When she falls ill and receives a terminal diagnosis, Kanta, flooded with regret over all the trouble he's caused her, comes face to face with his mother for the first time. Gazing outside the window at a billboard featuring Hamamiya Mami, Japan’s top idol, his mother tells him she once dreamed he would marry someone just as beautiful. Kanta responds with a declaration as sudden as it is absurd: he's going to marry that woman — and until he does, his mother is absolutely not allowed to die. Thus begins an utterly impossible challenge: a socially inexperienced shut-in setting his sights on the most unattainable woman in Japan. First, Kanta has to leave the house. Then, talk to people. And finally, find a way to get close to Mami. As he tackles one “mission in life and love” after another, he meets an array of eccentric characters and steadily levels up from zero experience. What begins as a promise to his mother gradually becomes a grand adventure that transforms his own life. Will he ever reach Mami, as lofty and out of reach as Mount Fuji itself?
