In high school, Yuri Totsuka (Kanna Hashimoto) was just another teenage girl. Experiencing all the ups and downs that come with high school, Yuri’s struggles weren’t any different than every other girl her age. Living on her own, in a quiet apartment complex in a peaceful province, Yuri should have had a largely uneventful teenage life. But one terrifying event would change not only her life, but the lives of two of her classmates, forever.

Once a friend of Yuri’s, Satoko Hino (Ai Yoshikawa) had given up on their friendship after the two had a falling out. Now more a stranger than a friend, Satoko suffers through her miserable life alone. Alongside her, transfer student Maho Sakazaki (Wakana Aoi) seems doomed to spend her high school years as a loner; but living in the same apartment complex as Yuri, the two soon become close friends. With a new friend by her side, Yuri might have forgotten all about Satoko, had Fate not decided to intervene in a truly cruel and horrifying way.

When Maho is attacked by a violent assailant, Yuri steps in, desperate to save her friend; but her frantic attempt to help ends in murder. Only adding to the horror of it all, Satoko is arrested the very next day. Now caught in a tangled web of lies and murders, the three girls desperately search for a way out. But is escape even an option when you’re in this deep?&nbsp;

Minase Akari (Hashimoto Kanna), aged 17, takes a family holiday on the island of Kyushu. Her family stays in a guesthouse, whose owner’s son Morita Ikumi (Mizuki Itagaki), falls for her. The two spend time together and eventually develop a close romantic bond.

One fateful night, they sit together and watch a meteor shower – an event that takes place above the Kyushu skies just once every four years. Knowing they will soon be parted, the duo promises to reunite at the same spot, underneath the same meteor shower in four years’ time.

Now in her early 20s, Minase Akari returns to keep her promise. But there is no sign of Morita Ikumi. She is distraught, but while she is feeling sorry for herself, a budding young photographer named Hoshino Aritoshi (Yuki Furukawa) turns up with a camera, ready to capture the rare celestial event.

The two get talking and he starts to develop a crush on Minase Akari. Quite unlike the shy and sensitive Morita Ikumi, Hoshino Aritoshi is flamboyant, extravert, and something of a playboy.

However, the path to true love turns out to be complex for Minase Akari – especially after fate reunites her with Morita Ikumi, and she discovers that a close male platonic friend also has feelings for her...

“One Page Love” is a 2019 Japanese drama series that was directed by Keita Motohashi.
