Need ing more from life, Yuma answer s a want ad t o create erotic manga but is told by the sympath etic editor to come back once she has some actual sexual experience. Yuma’ s first encounter with a male prostitute at a “ Love Hotel” ends in disaster, but it is there that she meets MAI, a sex worker specializing in caring for the handicapped. From visiting sex shops to drag bars to binge drinking, Mai, along with her driver TOSHIYA, takes Yuma under her wing and shows her just how exciting Tokyo nightlife can be.
