Be My Slave

The day before he begins work at a publishing house, a young man has sex with a young woman, Midori, in a bar bathroom, then sleeps with his friend's girlfriend, Junko. At the office, the man is drawn to Kana, an aloof senior employee. He tells her of his admiration for the illustrator Edward Gorey. Despite warnings from his colleagues that Kana is married to a man who lives in Osaka, he flirts with her; she tells him that his come-ons are unappreciated.
