Eiko (Sasa Handa), who became a shiatsu masseuse because she was praised for her "massage" skills when she was a high school manager, responded to customers' requests at the store every day. One day, Tatsuo, who enthusiastically nominates Eiko and goes by, earnestly applies for a relationship. Eiko is not a jerk, but she had "deep" circumstances that prevented her from dating men. She can touch people's bodies with acupressure, but she can't stand being touched. However, he craved "sex" more than most people, and satisfied that desire with "air sex" (masturbation in which he throws his body into a delusion without even touching himself) every day. When Tatsuo learns of her disposition, he decides to go along with the act.

What makes it different from others?
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
