[Synopsis]
Daisuke is a karate instructor and a competitor who is also a national championship contender. One day, he collapses during a practice session and is rushed to the hospital, where he is diagnosed with leukemia.
I'm the one with leukemia? At first, he took it lightly, but the disease changed his life. His physical strength deteriorated during his battle with the disease, and his karate and even his girlfriend left him. Then the doctor said, "In order to survive, you must have a bone marrow transplant. A bone marrow transplant was the only way to save his life.
The only person who could save him was a woman named Michiko, who lived far away in Niigata. But her family is opposed to her becoming a donor.
