Story:
25-year old Yuka Orihara (Emi Wakui) is a lovely and cheerful woman. We
cannot really see any differences in her appearance, but she was born with
a lower IQ than average. She grew up with lots of love of her parents,
so she has become a good-natured girl. However, she cannot control her
feelings very well, and sometimes she does something too wild, which concerns
people around her. While her intellectual ability is low, she has an amazing
sense in arts. She has been drawing artistic paintings, and creating unique
objects which reflect her pure heart. Her mother (Jun Fubuki) always watches
her with love and even her late father, who was also a painter, still influences
her. Besides, she has a good friend; Ryo Kanzaki (Katsunori Takahashi).
He is her cousin and like a brother to her. But Yuka's peaceful life suddenly
changes when her work gets a prize at a competition to which Ryo has entered
her work secretly. She is forced to come out of her small world to an unknown
world. And she meets a man; Toru Sawatari (Shinichi Tsutsumi), a reporter
for a photo-magazine. He used to be a journalist of a newspaper, but was
demoted to an associate company a few years ago. But he is determined to
return to the paper as he hates the power. Toru, who is very cool and has
a past, starts having a business relationship with Yuka. He does not care
about her retardation and treats her as an ordinary person. This comes
from his indifference, but as Yuka believes he is a 'nice' person, he gets
attracted to her purity...
