| Overview: | It's fall 2004. Kenji Aoki, manager of the Project Department of a major sporting goods manufacturer is in a ski resort in New Zealand. He has just finished helping out in a skiing event sponsored by his company, and finally has time to ski with his subordinate, Tappei Hayama. Just when Kenji is enjoying relief from work, he receives a call from Goro Shintani. "My car got stuck in the snow. Help me out."
Goro is Kenji's friend from college, but is now a board member of Kenji's company. Despite the fact that Goro is only 36-years old, he was promoted to his current position with the help of his father, the president of the company. As long as Goro is boss, Kenji can't refuse his orders. When Kenji arrives at the site, he discovers Goro with a beautiful and well-mannered girl. She is Yuki Aoi, Goro's secretary.
A few days after the skiing incident, Kenji sees a moving truck in front of his apartment. Somebody has moved into the vacant room right next to Kenji's. The two rooms were originally one room, but had been divided into two separate small rooms at some time in the past. Now only a wall and a sealed door separated the two rooms.
While observing the moving process, Kenji hears his new female neighbor using extremely vulgar language. She also has a terrible attitude. While still in shock at how boorish girls can be, Kenji picks up a photograph that has fallen from the girl's luggage. It's a picture of a female motorcycle gang—posing with their long hair bleached blond, dressed in flamboyant costumes, and wielding piercing looks.
"Oh boy, look at my new neighbor" thinks Kenji. He glances at the lady working downstairs and is taken back to see Yuki, the well-mannered girl he met at the ski resort. She's a Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde.
Since this day on, Kenji is amazed and disgusted at Yuki's way of life. There's a constant flow of different guys visiting Yuki's room. Knowing both of Yuki's polar personalities, Kenji is speechless at how well Yuki manages to balance her two extreme characters. One day, Goro visits Kenji's apartment. Just when they're enjoying a chat about the good old days, there is a knock on Kenji's door. It's Yuki, and she's very drunk. Without opening the door, Kenji asks what she wants. Yuki says she dropped her keys and can't get inside. She wants to use the door between Kenji's room somehow to get in. Sensing that Goro has feelings for Yuki, Kenji manages to get Goro to leave from a different exit and lets Yuki inside.
