Bane ga Kita: SPRING HAS COME

Katagura is a veteran writer who has enjoyed a long-running successful series, yet he remains single. For the past month, he has been living with a partner robot on a trial basis, and salesmen frequently visit his home to monitor the arrangement. They tell him that in the "era of a hundred years of life," everyone will eventually need someone's assistance.

As Katagura considers whether to purchase the robot permanently, he finds himself reevaluating his future and what it means to grow old alone. The quiet presence of the machine forces him to confront his own loneliness and the choices that have led him to this point.
