Dakara Watashi wa Oshimashita

Endo Ai (Sakurai Yuki), an office lady approaching 30, is a little exhausted and pushed to the limit amid the competition to look good on social media and appear superior to her friends every day. She feels anxious if she does not have other people’s affirmation and will not think something is good unless everyone says so. One day, Ai happens to go to a live event for an underground idol group, and sees the idol Hana (Shiraishi Sei), who flashes awkward smiles and is nothing spectacular. Ai feels irritated by how awkward Hana is, but she is moved by her earnestness and eventually comes to think of Hana as her favourite member. However, this is precisely the start of “swampy fandom”. Ai gets stuck deep in this morass which is a far cry from her days dressing as a office lady. But the more she gets hooked, the more their relationship begins to go wrong. Was their encounter good or bad fortune?
