A troubled artist and his relationship with the woman who inspires his work provide the backdrop for this drama based on a true story. Abe Shinichi (Kenji Mizuhashi) was a manga artist working in Tokyo's bohemian Asagaya district in the 1970s. Abe was obsessively attracted to Miyoko (Marie Machida), a beautiful woman who sometimes served as his model. Miyoko would become Abe's lover and later his wife while still posing for his drawings and becoming the central figure in a series of bold and innovative adult comic stories published in the magazine Garo.
