Overview
Identifying as LGBT+, Fujiya Ami doesn't want to be categorized as either male or female and has no romantic feelings for others. After working in Tokyo as a "woman," Ami couldn't go on pretending and moved to a small community in western Japan. Faced with a shrinking population, the community welcomed Ami as a new young addition, but many were surprised that Ami has no desire to marry. Preferring to deal with others on the basis of personality rather than gender, Ami finds her own way to live in a rural area where traditional gender identity remains strong.
