Shitai, Yoi no Sei ni.
シたい、酔いのせいに。
A collection of brief, interconnected stories set in various parts of the city at night, focusing on encounters between individuals after hours of drinking and socializing. In one story, a subordinate runs into their critical boss at a bar. Another follows a career woman, recently betrayed by her boyfriend, who is approached by an impudent young man. A woman attempts to impress her childhood friend by pretending to be glamorous. Meanwhile, an accountant working at a maid café faces exposure by a new coworker, and a pet groomer is mistaken for a massage therapist by an introverted man. Each story explores fleeting, often humorous or awkward interactions among people who remain out past midnight.
