Chinami, Hikaru, and Ayase first met through a university board game club and have remained close ever since. Now 27, they continue to spend their time together drinking, talking, and playing games, holding on to the same easygoing routine they built as students. Despite their long-standing friendship, each of them faces their own struggles when it comes to love and relationships. Chinami approaches love seriously and aspires to find a partner she can marry, but her relationships often end in heartbreak. Hikaru, who is gay, has a boyfriend and is in a relationship that appears stable on the surface. Ayase, meanwhile, keeps her distance from romance altogether, choosing not to engage with her feelings. Their everyday lives take a turn when a friend suddenly runs away from her wedding. The incident becomes a catalyst that forces the three to reflect on their own views on love, relationships, and the paths they have chosen. As they confront their individual situations, their perspectives begin to shift, revealing the uncertainties and realities of love in adulthood. ~~ Adapted from the poems "Heartbreak Karuta" (失恋カルタ) written by Matayoshi Naoki (又吉直樹) and illustrated by Tanaka Misaki (たなかみさき).Read more
