Will Meiko find her place in the world, or will the world force her to fit?

Meiko Inoue is a recent college graduate working as an office lady in a job she hates. Her boyfriend, Naruo, is permanently crashing at her apartment because his job as a freelance illustrator doesn't pay enough for rent. Meanwhile, her parents in the countryside keep sending her boxes of vegetables that just rot in her fridge.

Straddling the line between her years as a student and the rest of her life, Meiko struggles with the feeling that she's just not cut out to be a part of the real world.

Solanin captures the essence of this transitional period with a poignant narrative that explores the challenges of finding one's place in the world.
