29-year-old Iwaya Sumire is having a rough day, possibly the worst ever. She was recently dumped by her boyfriend of 5 years, just as she was expecting a marriage proposal. Adding to her troubles, she was demoted from the foreign correspondence department at the newspaper where she works after punching her boss for making inappropriate advances while drunk. On her way home, feeling emotional and intoxicated, Sumire recalls seeing a puppy available for adoption near her apartment building earlier that day. When she checks the box, she is surprised to find a young man inside instead of the puppy. This man, 20-year-old modern interpretive dancer Goda Takeshi, had taken refuge in the box after being attacked and is now slightly injured. Mistakenly thinking Takeshi is her childhood dog Momo, Sumire takes him home with her. Despite their unusual beginning, Sumire and Takeshi develop a unique and special relationship, with Sumire treating Takeshi like a pet dog and even giving him the name Momo. Their daily life together gradually evolves into something more profound.
