Synopsis

Kei Komachi (Kenichi Matsuyama), an employee at Nozomi Estate, and Kenta Kodama (Eita), the son and heir to Kodama Ironworks, both love trains as a hobby. They quickly become friends after becoming acquainted with each other by chance. Komachi, who is particular about having a "train view" (being able to see trains) even from his home, moves into Kodama Ironworks' dorm, but he is soon transferred to the Kyushu branch of his company. Located in Kyushu is a major company that hitherto could not easily be persuaded to cooperate with Nozomi Estate. However, the president (Pierre Taki) happens to also be a train enthusiast and finds a kindred spirit in Komachi and Kodama, and thus business takes a turn for the better. But for both Komachi and Kodama, their love lives were not panning out as well as their hobbies and jobs, and they were at a loss as to what to do.
