The drama is based on the manga of the same name by Nishika Hachi, which is currently being serialized on the manga app "Comic DAYS" (Kodansha). It depicts the love story that begins in 1936, when Natsumi, who was suddenly proposed to and married on zero days after dating, and Takimasa, who works for the Imperial Navy, begin their married life together.
Natsumi and Takitaka decide to take a walk around the town. While Takitaka shows her around the shops and photo studios, Natsumi trips over a step and nearly falls.
Takimasa quickly grabbed Natsumi's arm and gently told her to stay on her feet, then held her hand.
"Ah, my hand..." said Natsumi, blushing. Takimasa told her shyly, "Because it's dangerous." Natsumi felt happy and couldn't help but smile.
