His overbearing mother's constant pestering to find a wife has driven him deeper into isolation. To escape reality, he writes a manga, a Japanese graphic novel. Little does he know how that graphic novel will lead him to Mt. Fuji, an old Japanese folktale, and a strange young woman who will affect his destiny.
