Mariko’s Last Chance

Mariko is 32. Ten years into office life. Zero romantic history. Crushed by parental pressure and marriage events that all ended in failure.

👘 Her Plan: Enroll In a school for adult re-education. With uniforms. And twin tails. And wooden clogs.

She tries on the outfit. The store clerk giggles. The street stares burn.

But Mariko doesn’t stop.

She reaches the school gate.

She passes the entrance test.

And Aniki’s camera is waiting.
