    • July 19, 1997. A high school sophomore, Hiromi and her friends are in Shibuya. In order to purchase a 128,000 yen ring before the store closes, Hiromi and her friends engage in a practice known as enjo kosai, or “compensated dating”, where older men pay young girls for dates. Eventually, Hiromi decides to go on a few dates alone, where she meets even more unlikely characters.
