Under the elevated tracks of Koenji. Two women, Nashida and Hamanaka, dance wildly while showing their armpit hair to an upbeat dance tune. They are best friends like no other. At the public bathhouse "Naminoyu" in Koenji. Nashida and Hamanaka soak in hot water while expressing their daily frustrations about the various oppressions faced by women, such as "serious romance between a man in his 50s and a 14-year-old girl," "derogatory remarks towards female politicians," and "across-the-board score reduction for female applicants in medical school." One day, Nashida went to a comedy live show with Hamanaka. Amidst the laughter in the venue, Nashida noticed the hurt expression of a comedian who was being mocked for their appearance and romantic experiences. On the way back, holding a pocket tissue with an advertisement for full-body hair removal, Nashida suddenly wondered, "Why does he have to change his appearance? Is it really so bad to not have a partner? And why do I have to get rid of all my body hair?" From that day on, Nashida and Hamanaka decide to embrace their armpit hair and liberate themselves through dance. They proudly expose their armpit hair for nobody but themselves. On their way back from a dance event in the shopping district, Nashida and Hamanaka encounter a band's after-party at an izakaya. Hurt by the unconscious labeling from the band members, Nashida can't help but shout to Tomo, a woman who stormed out of the restaurant: "You haven't done anything wrong." At that time, Hamanaka heard rumors about a man known as the "Flaming Man", who seemed to only appear around the Kōenji area. The rumors had a certain degree of credibility, and driven by curiosity, the two of them searched around with the hope of catching a glimpse of the man, even just once. The man with blazing feet. Who on earth could he be? (Source: Japanese = Official Website || Translation = MyDramaList) ~~ Adapted from the novel "Enjousuru Kimi" (炎上する君) by Nishi Kanako (西加奈子). Edit Translation
