TAKAHASHI FROM THE BICYCLE SHOP VOL.2

Tomoko Hanno, known to her friends as Panko, is a woman in her thirties going through a difficult time. At work, her boss pays her increasingly excessive and worrying attention, and a colleague also makes her uncomfortable with constant unwanted invitations. The only man who seems to treat her with decency and whom she doesn't mind having around is Takahashi, a peer with blunt manners and a seemingly disreputable appearance, who works at a bicycle shop in Tomoko’s neighborhood. Ever since the young woman needed his assistance, a tender and awkward friendship has blossomed between them, built on the simple pleasure of sharing moments and being able to talk to each other naturally. Could there be something more developing between the two?
