Summary 34-year-old Miyuki is a traditional Japanese housewife, with her "salaryman" husband and a son. Although she believes her dream has come true, she secretly feels unsatisfied with the fact her life completely depends on her husband. Sumiko, Miyuki's childhood friend, is a single woman who has recently been promoted to a manager at a huge corporation. With her high salary, she doesn't rely on anybody, but she hasn't been romantically involved for some time, and begins to feel anxious about living life alone. Yu is just about to turn thirty, but still depends on her father and lives at his home as a "parasite single." She cannot figure out what she really wants to do or who she really wants to be.
