==Plot== Yukiyo Fujimoto is a temp worker living in Tokyo, Japan. He has never held a steady job or had a girlfriend. As he is about to turn 30, he is suddenly contacted by several women from his past: former co-worker and music enthusiast Aki Doi, younger friend and amateur photographer Itsuka Nakashiba, previous love interest Natsuki Komiyama, and former high school classmate and juvenile delinquent Naoko Hayashida. Yukiyo realizes that he is experiencing what is called his "moteki," a Japanese slang term for a period of time (usually the one-and-only period of time) where one becomes popular with the opposite sex. The term derives from a combination of the verb 'moteru' – i.e. to "have it" in the sense of "be popular", and 'ki', meaning "period".
