Takanashi Shizuka thinks it's perfectly normal for a girl in the bloom of youth to have a few steamy dreams.
It's just that the guy in this dream... looks like one of her childhood friends, but as a burnt-out middle-aged man?
Gian, wait, I mean, Jinpei, what's going on with you, Jinpei?
Shizuka doesn't think of her childhood friends that way, obviously. After all, who would be interested in someone with nothing but mechanical parts on his mind and not a shred of girlish charm...
Though, since she's already here...
This curly-haired middle-aged guy in her dream is actually kind of delicious!
Forget it, might as well enjoy herself!
But, Curly, who did you say died while you were lighting that post-coital cigarette???
Suneo, wait, I mean, Hagi, what's going on with you, Hagi???
Well, it must just be some weird setting added to make the experience more immersive... The burnt-out version of Gian really does have his own charm...
Anyway, Shizuka doesn't take it too seriously. She goes on with her life as usual, moving on to higher education and then work, occasionally relieving stress with the curly-haired middle-aged man in her dreams and listening to him gripe about his two classmates who disappeared right after graduation.
Well, for some reason, even in her dreams, Gian doesn't reveal their names... So let's call them Nobita and Doraemon for now, based on their relationships!
Shizuka's ordinary life continues until, in reality, her two childhood friends graduate from university and enroll in the police academy, unlocking new characters.
Oh no, blond, dark-skinned Nobita and blue-eyed Doraemon have really shown up!
Does this mean Suneo's life is actually in danger?!
After saving Hagi, the curly-haired middle-aged man from her dreams comes to say goodbye. They have a pretty satisfying breakup romp. Shizuka thinks that's the end of it and that she can go back to her ordinary life, but then her steamy dreams switch to a new partner!
Wait, what's going on with you, blue-eyed Doraemon? You look so gentle, but how come your thing gets so hard when you switch to that gloomy, disheveled look?
