Ochiru Part Tsuma – Toshishita Otoko to no Jouji ni Oboreta Hate ni… – Episode 1 (PV): Deai, Koi, Nuresoboru Hitozuma Native title

Saiki Sunao has just moved into a new apartment after a crushing breakup and a failed entrance exam left him adrift. Living alone for the first time, he keeps to himself until he encounters the wife of the couple next door—Ayano Shinonome. Her calm, mature beauty immediately captivates him. By pure chance, he also ends up working the same part-time job at a restaurant where Ayano is already employed. She treats him kindly both at work and around the building, gradually brightening his lonely days. Sunao knows she is a married woman with a child, yet the more time they spend together the harder it becomes to ignore his growing feelings. At the same time, Ayano starts to notice something familiar in him. He reminds her of her first love, and that resemblance awakens emotions she thought she had buried long ago. Episode 1 follows their first meetings, the quiet care that turns into mutual awareness, and the early stages of the dangerous attraction that will pull them both into forbidden territory. The episode captures the hesitant, intoxicating beginning of an affair that neither of them fully intends to start.
