Description
Azu Takamori is a thirty-one-year-old woman running a nail salon from her home. She possesses long pink hair reaching near her back and pink eyes, frequently wearing red lipstick. Azu maintains a cheerful daily demeanor but remains wary, especially regarding her husband Junpei's fidelity after his relocation for work. She shares a happy, cheerful relationship with her young daughter Nanaka, whom she cares for deeply.
Her background involves building a seemingly happy family life with Junpei and Nanaka. Following childbirth, Azu studied nail art and established her home-based salon to help with household expenses and loan repayments. She initially believed her marriage was immune to infidelity, trusting Junpei more than anyone. This stability shatters when Izutsu Wataru confronts Azu with a physically bruised Junpei, revealing Junpei's year-long affair with his part-time coworker, Izutsu Rina.
Devastated, Azu forces Junpei to sleep elsewhere and pursues divorce. During this period, while intoxicated and manipulated, she nearly engages in a retaliatory encounter with another man but halts it before consummation. Despite her anguish, Azu undergoes an internal struggle and eventually chooses reconciliation with Junpei after recalling their longstanding bond. Junpei recommits to their marriage.
Reconciliation proves difficult due to persistent interference from Rina, who employs manipulation and sabotage. News of the affair impacts Azu's nail salon business, bringing social stigma. Throughout this turmoil, Azu relies on her straightforward vitality and support networks, including her friend Haruta Ryoma, who provides emotional stability and professional assistance. Her resilience is tested further as Rina escalates her obsession, culminating in a public attempt to destroy Junpei's career and relationship.
Azu navigates ongoing marital strain, including Junpei's initial passivity toward Rina's advances and his discomfort over Azu's near-infidelity. She evolves from a content homemaker into a woman confronting betrayal while striving to preserve her family unit, demonstrating determination amid continuous external challenges.
