A Love that Wagers the World

The budding architect Yuji Muraoka (Yujiro Ishihara) first encounters Natsuko (Ruriko Asaoka) at a contemporary art exhibit inside the Ueno Museum of Art. Initially, he feels nothing noteworthy about her beyond acknowledging that she is the younger sister of the esteemed Nonomura-san. Later, at Nonomura's birthday party, jealous rivals who resent Yuji's talent coerce him into performing a covert talent showcase to humiliate him, but Natsuko promptly comes to his aid. This intervention draws them much closer together.
