LONG-TERM COFFEE BREAK

Sophomore Meguru just wants to focus on her future. But when forced to participate in her high school's competitive karuta club, she finds a new passion.

Junior high school student Yuki, a member of a travelling theater troupe, changes schools every month for performances. Because of this, he does not expect to meet people at any of his schools and does not try to make friends. However, when he attends a new school, his homeroom teacher asks him to deliver something to a classmate who hasn't been coming to school, but has excellent grades. By chance, he becomes friends with him, and Ken's ex-girlfriend Maya joins them, and as the three of them spend more and more time together, Yuki begins to wish that they could see him on stage as an actor.

A group of five people has occupied a traditional Japanese house, living there in a kind of commune where the only rule is that they accept everybody and that they all do their share in chores and contribute financially. However, the local town office wants them out of there, even though they have no particular reason to evict them, and has dispatched a number of public servants to ask them to leave, to no avail.
