Japan's "yutori" generation is often labeled as lazy, a consequence of a relaxed upbringing that's led to criticism of their work ethic and academic performance. Touma, 27, struggles with employment, finding refuge in internet cafes and venting online. Feeling stifled by societal expectations, he's on the verge of giving up. Frustrated by older generations' interference, he fantasizes about abandoning them, referencing a folklore tale of elderly people being left on mountains. He discovers a blog exploring this idea and connects with the blogger, who claims to be his age. Unbeknownst to him, she is 72 years old. Through their online conversations, Touma begins to confront himself and improve his life, and they eventually arrange to meet in person.
