Comments: Another one I would have skipped if ebossert hadn't suggested otherwise. I thought Yuriko Yoshitaka's career was gonna die after her being horrifically miscast in Snakes and Earrings, but she carries this film well.

Summary: 24-year-old OL Chie Ikeshita's (Yuriko Yoshitaka) motto is to try various things to enjoy life. Chie spends her time accordingly to her motto. Chie Ikeshita then starts to date 5 different men and adjusts herself to the different situations.

Up to this point, Chie never thought about marriage. She changes her thought after her friend Toshiko Hamaguchi (Anne Watanabe) gets married. Chie takes the advise of Toshiko and decides to marry one of the 5 men. She must now whittle down her choice to one man. Chie says goodbye first to Takumi Tanashi (Kenta Hamano) ...
