Himeanole 2016

Ando works at a cleaning company where he is tasked in charge of clumsy newcomer Okada. While Ando struggles to remember his name, referring to him as “Okamura”, the two slowly develop a friendship. Okada, who loathes himself for leading a useless and aimless life, mentions to Ando how he is dissatisfied for having no hobbies, girlfriend, leading a repetitive life and wasting away. Ando comforts him stating no one is satisfied, and dissatisfaction is the driving force behind life. When asked if he feels the same way, Ando replies with a blunt no, stating “I live each day for love.”

Okada joins Ando at a nearby café to meet his “girlfriend”, which turns out to be the waitress Yuka he has a crush on but never confessed to. Ando then notices “the blond dude” sitting outside, who he thinks has his eyes set on his beloved Yuka. Okada glances and remembers him as Morita, a highschool classmate. Ando tells Okada to talk to him, in case he has ill intent towards Yuka. Okada approaches Morita, who denies ever having come here before, and the two exchange phone numbers. As Ando and Okada leave the café, he asks Okada to investigate. Okada hesitates but agrees to talk to Yuka. Okada waits outside the café in the evening for Yuka to finish her shift. The nervous Yuka mentions she fears she is being stalked, including receiving harassing phone calls and her mail disappearing. The next day at work, Ando tells Okada the pair shall go to the café everyday to ensure Yuka’s well-being. Okada hands her their numbers, and later Ando rambles to Okada about wanting to take Yuka on a date.

Morita, a habitual smoker and pachinko player, makes a phone call to Wagusa at his workplace demanding $5000. The nervous Wagusa meets his girlfriend Kumiko, a coworker, to help him steal the money from his father’s business where the two work. She eventually demands to know why he keeps giving him money. Wagusa reveals the two were classmates bullied by the same kids throughout highschool. A week before graduation, Morita visited Wagusa at night to tell him “I caught Kawashima,” to enact revenge for his years of torment. Morita tells Wagusa to beat him with a bat, before Morita kills him and buries his body. Since the incident, Wagusa notes something changed in Morita who began extorting him for money.

During an awkward double date between Ando, Okada, Yuka and her friend Ai, the outspoken Ai tells Ando he has no chance with Yuka. The two have been friends since kindergarten and she can tell Yuka loves someone else. Ando urges Okada to determine whether Yuka would date Ando, so Okada waits outside the next day to talk to her but Yuka maintains she likes someone else. She reveals the person she likes is actually him. The nervous Okada wonders if it is a prank and stares around for hidden cameras. Instead, he notices Ando hiding at a corner who overhears everything; Ando collapses before letting out an unending scream. Yuka panics and begins screaming herself, before the two run away in opposite directions.

Okada and Yuka meet again in private after Ando had been absent from work for a week. The two talk before Yuka convinces him they should date. Before long, the seemingly shy Yuka turns out to be very sexual. Awkwardness ensues when the inexperienced Okada prods her with questions about her partner count and when she lost her virginity. Morita, who has been stalking Yuka outside her house, notices the two having sex and decides to call Wagusa to help him kill Okada. Kumiko convinces Wagusa they should kill Morita instead. This leads to a string of events involving Morita which sees several people dead, and Okada and Yuka’s lives in increasing danger.
