First Kiss

Mio Fukunaka is a very truculent, 19 year-old Japanese woman living in the U.S. with her mother. What you don't see at first sight: she got a major cardiac defect, meaning she could die of a heart attack anytime. As she does not want to live her life in doubts, she decides to get a surgery. With that it would be possible to live many years without fear, but the surgery has a success rate of only 50%... Before taking the risk of the surgery, Mio wants to have an untroubled summer time in Japan with her elder brother. After her arrival she soon gives herself and the people around her a hard time with her complicated attitude. Anyhow this summer is becoming the summer of her life after falling in love with the young doctor Yuuki Akimi. Mios heart is jumping for joy. When the date of her surgery gets near, she notices how much she is loving her life. But she sticks to her decision to fly back to the U.S. and get the surgery with an uncertain outcome.
