The year is 2005... 29-year-old Yuka is leading a fulfilling life as the top manager of a rapidly growing apparel shop. However, Yuka realizes that she has a strange ability to sense the future...just a little ahead, and begins to demonstrate her innate abilities even more. Meanwhile, in 2025, 50-year-old Hayakawa, who once achieved success with Yuka, is now living a dull and down-and-out life. One day, a certain incident causes him to go back 20 years and meet Yuka in her younger days again. This is a sci-fi story set in the apparel industry where the past and future intersect, as Hayakawa struggles to change the future so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past. https://note.com/tonari_kojima/n/nc49...

Kojima Satoshi (Kojima Satoshi) of the podcast program "Working People's Stories" has contributed his first article from his own perspective and point of view on the reality of the apparel industry, which is not usually talked about.
