Turn to Me, Mukai

こっち向いてよ向井くん

Mukai-kun is a 35-year-old office worker who has been single for ten years. Still carrying a lingering attachment to his last ex-girlfriend, Miwako, he lives at home with his family, feeling that concepts like love and marriage have become distant. His last relationship fell apart after he told Miwako he wanted to protect her, and she asked what that even meant.

At work, Mukai-kun starts noticing Nakatani-san, a temporary employee, and begins to feel a new spark of interest. Caught between the memory of his old flame and the possibility of a new encounter, he embarks on a search for love, navigating the gap between his past and his present. As he tries to figure out how to find a girlfriend again, Mukai-kun must confront his own uncertainties and take a chance on something new.
