Often the tenderest – and sometimes the most awkward – of all moments in a couple’s relationship is the 60 minutes before they make love for the first time. This omnibus drama series follows the exploits of different couples of various ages and from all sorts of walks of life as, with a blend of adventure, anticipation, lust, and trepidation, they navigate the often-tense last minutes before they have sex for the first time. Their motivation in each case is not always the same, but we are often privy to their innermost thoughts, fears, and desires as the clock ticks down to zero – and the start of their intimacy.

From young courting couples to people in their middle ages, in each case, the destination is certain, but just how the couples will end up getting there is not always clear. The omnibus begins with the tale of a young, inexperienced couple named Takayama Satoshi (Asuka Kudo) and Aida Michiko (Asami Usuda). They have resolved to make love for the first time, but have no real idea how to go about it. Who should initiate what? Is this really what they want to do? Will nerves get the better of them? They have confined themselves to a small room with the intention of taking their relationship to this next step, but as the sands of time run down, uncertainty just won’t go away!

This drama was based on a 2016-2018 manga series written by Knots.

Tsukimi Kurashita (Kyoko Yoshine) lost her mother to illness while she was still a young girl. Her enduring memory of her mother is jellyfish – after an emotional visit to an aquarium with her mother. Ever since, she has been completely obsessed with these aquatic creatures.

She lives in a Tokyo apartment with a group of young women on the fringes of society, most of whom have little or no romantic experience, shun outsiders, and are unemployed.

Tsukimi Kurashita dreams of escaping this dreary apartment and her housemates. She wants to retreat into her own world and become an illustrator.

But her life is sent on a brand new course on the fateful day when she quarrels with an uppity pet store clerk about a jellyfish, which she believes may be on the verge of death.

A remarkable looking stranger intervenes: a stunning beauty queen (who later turns out to be a cross-dressing man): Kuranosuke Koibuchi (Koji Seto). The stranger buys the jellyfish for Tsukimi Kurashita, who repays the favor by letting this exotic beauty stay with her at the apartment – much to the disdain of her housemates.

But the chaos has only just begun, as both Koibuchi Kuronosuke and his brother Koibuchi Shu (Asuka Kudo) slowly begin to fall for Tsukimi Kurashita…
