The story is inspired from real-life events in Japan. Nerdy boy rescues beautiful girl in a subway train from a drunk tough guy. The profusely shy and apologetic hero gets help from anonymous friends on an Internet User group (Bulletin Board Service) and musters courage to ask the girl out. Boy has immense insecurity issues and girl waits patiently as he works them out. A similar real-life event was reported in New York a few years ago when a man first saw the love of his life on a subway. The girl got off at a station before guy could speak with her. He soon located her through the "Lost and Found" section in Craig's List. It is not known if that encounter transformed into a lifelong relationship.
