"DAISUKI." Aiko e Reina stanno assieme da quasi vent'anni, ma c'è sempre stato un qualcosa di non detto tra loro: daisuki, ossia "ti amo." Con l'avvicinarsi dell'anniversario, la loro relazione giunge a un punto morto perché Aiko, la casalinga giapponese, inizia a chiedere non solo dei "ti amo," ma anche un matrimonio e del romanticismo. Reina però non capisce concetti complessi come "amore" o altre emozioni. Per anni ha supportato finanziariamente la compagna con un lavoro che le succhia l'anima, e si è presa cura dei loro reciproci bisogni in camera da letto. Non basta? In una cultura che le chiede di scegliere tra il mondo "femminile" e quello "maschile," ha già abbastanza difficoltà a trovare il suo ruolo senza che Aiko le faccia pressioni. Certe parole non hanno bisogno di essere pronunciate, ma un "ti amo" potrebbe distruggere una relazione che già si barcamena tra incursioni di terzi e altri episodi bizzarri.
