Story

Chiaki is a cute girl adopted by Souichi. She works with her father in his bar and becomes the attraction of the bar. Souichi loves Chiaki not as an adopted daughter but a woman with his passion suppressed. One day he asks her to leave the bar to work outside…. Yoshie comes to the bar to fill the vacancy. She looks exactly the same as Souichi’s dead wife. Souichi treats her as his wife’s substitute to release his passion.
