Synopsis:
Suzuko Sato is 21 years old, without any professional certifications, talents, or friends. After graduating from junior college, Suzuko couldn't find a stable job and lived with her parents, occasionally doing odd jobs. Her introverted yet stubborn personality led to conflicts with her family, and she declared that once she earned one million yen, she would move out and live independently. When her savings finally reached seven digits, Suzuko left home with her suitcase in tow. She went to the beach and worked at a seaside kiosk making smoothies; she went to the mountains to help fruit farmers pick peaches; she ventured into the city, seeking a new beginning in unfamiliar places... As Suzuko traveled from place to place, she met many kind people but struggled to connect with those who tried to get close to her. Every time she saved up another million yen, she embarked on a new journey. Soon, her savings were about to reach her next goal when she met university student Nakajima. She fell in love with the gentle Nakajima. Love made Suzuko pause her wanderings and take a decisive step forward in her journey of growth...
