The story centers on Renji Kusakabe, a young man juggling a part-time job at a game arcade. On Valentine’s Day, he notices a British girl named Lily, deeply engrossed in a crane game and visibly frustrated as her attempts to win a prize repeatedly fail. Moved by her tears, Renji steps in to assist, helping her secure the stuffed animal she longed for. Grateful, Lily surprises him by handing over a message card that reads, “Be My Valentine!”—a heartfelt plea to become her boyfriend.
