Yuki Onna to Kani wo Kuu
On a sweltering summer day accompanied by the symphony of cicadas, a man finds himself on the brink of a drastic decision within the confines of his apartment. Instead of succumbing to his initial impulse, he idles away the hours in front of a flickering television screen. It is during this mundane interlude that a tantalizing glimpse of Hokkaido's delectable seafood captivates him, revealing a glaring absence in his culinary experiences – the taste of crab has eluded him. Thus begins his unconventional quest to savor this exquisite delicacy before bidding farewell to life, even if it means embarking on a journey to Hokkaido with his dwindling resources. However, the unforeseen expenses of this culinary pilgrimage push him to contemplate desperate measures. Jobless and devoid of assets, the man entertains the notion of seeking financial aid. Lost in his deliberations, a chance encounter with an affluent housewife alters his course. Enthralled by the opulent jewel adorning her finger, he resolves to seize it through illicit means, tailing her back to her lavish abode. Yet, before he can execute his plan of coercion, a surprising twist unfolds – the woman surprises him with an unexpected offer, presenting not only her wealth but also her vulnerability.
