It's love at first sight with the aid of Love Pills (drugs that replicate the feeling of being in love) and as Rai begins to capture her imagination, the real Winry remains shrouded in mystery, hidden behind the curtain of cyberspace, and scared to have a real relationship.Swept up in a whirlwind of Love, fake violence, and virtual fantasies, Rai and Winry set out to find the secret to modern life and romance.… (more)
