My Long Awaited Love Story (わたしに運命の恋なんてありえないって思ってた)

“3 months ago”

Say...

Do you believe in destiny?

After meeting you for the first time I...

...I understand the reason I was born.

Eh? What does that mean?

I’ll protect you... Always.

The sparkling prince-type all women yearn for.

When a woman feels lonely, when she’s in trouble...

When she's crying alone.

The perfect one suddenly appears out of nowhere.

Excuse me... That’ll be 2,980 yen.

Oh my...

I forgot my wallet today.

Sorry, can you please lend me some money for now?

So I’m paying again?

Oh, the bill. Wait, the bill...

Pathetic.

Eh? You're leaving already?

I still got work to do.

Let's meet again soon?

I’ll be lonely...

The younger, spoiled puppy-type.

Because he's just like a pet, she won't depend on him.

He has a healing effect on the tired older woman.

Giving her strength for tomorrow's work...

Hey, Takkun, what's this?

Who's this?

My mother's acquaintance?

-What?! -Let's go!

And the most popular, the sadistic selfish type.

Don't look around! Look only at me.

He's always condescending and keeps verbally abusing women...

...but he's actually very kind-hearted.

-Are you done with the setting? -Yes, have a look.

What? This is terrible.

How long have you been an assistant?!

I am sorry.

How pathetic.

Being 27 already I am aware that...

….in the real world...

...there's a 99.9999% chance of meeting a perfect prince...

...like those in films or manga isn't gonna happen.

My...

Goddess...

Was I dreaming just now?

I wasn't, right?

"Christmas Drama Special"

"I have never thought that destined love would be real."

I'm Momose from the contents department.

We decided to enter the smartphone love game market this time.

The market now amounts to 13.7 billion yen per year.

And she is the game planner to oversee planning and development...

...Riko Shirano.

I'm Riko Shirano, pleased to meet you.

When it comes to love games, the character design is crucial.

The key is to create male characters...

...the female player would fall in love with.

For the main character...

The prince type...

...and the selfish type are popular.

And for hair styles...

Although long is good, maybe...

...something like this.

This one is great.

Thinking about these things must be fun.

These are characters from games I designed recently.

The illustrations made from them look like this.

-Please. -Amazing.

As for a scene from the game.

In other words...

You want me to kiss you, right?

The selfish type...

Shirano, how do you think of such heartthrob lines?

Of course there’s a limit to my imagination...

I also walk around town and do research.

Well... but most of it is of no use.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

He waved at me...

He did wave at me just now... right?

Shirano?

No, it's nothing.

A fated meeting. And we meet again.

This is already...

What is this?

Tokugawa's 15th Shogun - Love Shogunate

What?

Are you stupid?

Did you do any marketing research before you started?

Because historical genres are currently popular?

Yes.

We also got good responses, saying it's catchy.

"Tokugawa's 15th Shogun, all gathered."

They can't be all gathered. How about some period research?

"Which general will you fall in love with?

Who are those generals you mentioned?

Do you ignore Yoshimune and Tsunayoshi?

Is this really entertaining?

Women like delusions.

Oh well, that's true.

Speaking about it, I saw something funny yesterday.

I'll go call a taxi.

We went to a restauran wedding party in Motomachi.

My glasses...

Please don't step on them.

My glasses...

That woman stared at him like she was enthralled.

She must have thought it's fated love…

….when he was only picking up his glasses.

Kurokawa.

That's what you call delusions and it's where stalking starts from.

Am I wrong?

-Stalker... -Of course.

I gave you the 'go' because games can be a big hit now...

...but our SNS users...

...are interested in things like fashion and makeup.

Women trying to refine themselves in the real world.

Make it for this target group.

It’s troublesome if you ruin our image.

Image?!

The point is...

Women who enjoy these are...

...either ugly or stupid.

Even so...

For something like this to be popular...

That just means there are a lot of women who don't look at reality.

Rather because of the reality we see...

"I keep thinking of you 24/7 356 days a year."

You lazy? Go work!

Where in the world would you find such a guy?

There's none.

And that's why we gotta make him up.

Oh, the stalker!

Then let me ask you in return...

What are the charms of real men?

They're worse than herbivorous, they're fasting or anorectic.

They don’t even know how to talk to women without asking their phones.

"It's the first date, am I supposed to treat her?"

They need to research this online.

They don't have the guts to confess and they break up in LINE.

Even if they manage to date...

...what follows is affairs and domestic violence.

It’s because you men are nothing but fools…

...who don't know how to cherish or please a woman.

It is because real men are so pathetic that we’ve become self sufficient.

You see, there's one type of guy I won't ever forgive...

The type that makes fun of love.

Be it 2-dimensional or 2.5-dimensional

As long as it's love, it will be healing for women.

Tomorrow, they'll be giving their best again,...

...be it school, work, house-work or childcare.

If you don't even know this much...

You're the one who should look at reality.

Is...what I think...

Excuse me, Shirano.

Who on earth is he?

He's our president.

President?!

That planner’s a lost cause.

Redo the plan along with the whole team.

Who came up with this idiotic plan?

It was me.

Momose worked so hard for and all you say is "stupid or ugly".

This is marketing data about current love games.

This isn't bad.

I heard you'll enter the market for love games for the first time.

As a company that aims to help women in all kinds of situations.

After feeling their hearts skip a beat with this game, we hope...

...they'll be able to give their best again tomorrow,...

...be it at school, work, house-work or child care.

Look at this guy!

He's just plagiarizing somebody's words.

Shirano.

Please.

This way.

He's young, isn't he?

He's younger, isn't he?

Thank you for the venue reservation the other day.

-Gladly. -Oh, did you cut your hair?

As expected, a prince. Great communication skills.

Midoritani.

The board meeting got moved to 3 pm.

3 pm? Understood.

What?! He’s unexpectedly in a high post.

-Hey, Midoritani. -Hi.

Anne from Cosmetic Paris said she wants to meet you.

Great, we have an appointment to meet on her next trip here.

Please tell her that I'm looking forward to seeing her.

He's just too perfect.

I’m sorry.

What?

Our president was rude to you last time...

Ah, no. But…

For him to change after being told off like that...

He's quick to switch, right?

Well...

But you were amazing.

It’s the first time I saw someone talked back to him.

Our president was a successful programmer since his student days.

The tasking app he made in university was a big hit.
