Plot: Three male escorts get ready for their workday. They meet up with different women who all want something different from the men. One woman wants to get back at her cheating husband, a second one needs a date for her Instagram channel and the third woman wants to convince her mother she's getting married.

A more romantic take on the Japanese escort business. They're portrayed more as friends-for-hire, good-looking men who can be rented for the night to act as a companion or friend, without the sexual component. I'm not entirely sure how realistic this portrayal is, though I am aware of similar professions in Japan that are purely focused on friendship.
The performances are solid, the cinematography is very moody (colorful urban nightlife photography), and the three stories each add value to the overarching theme. There's nothing here that pushes the film to be remarkable, but if you're looking for a sweet, well-made Japanese romance, it shouldn't disappoint.
