Frustrated by indecisive and self-centered men, Tomo is also weary of her own inability to break free from these patterns.
In a bid for change, she comes up with the idea of becoming a “Subscription Girlfriend,” where she gets paid monthly for her companionship. Tomo gathers other girls in similar situations through social media to start this “Subscription Girlfriend” business.

 

Just as she embarks on this new venture, Tomo receives a confession of love from a local male friend, Kosuke, who has deep feelings for her. Unsure about how to respond honestly, Tomo suggests, “Let’s start dating as a subscription girlfriend,” and proposes a contract for their relationship as “Subscription Girlfriend.”
