“Moteki” is...a period in one’s life when a person is most attractive to the opposite sex.
For the self-conscious and love-starved Yukiyo (Mirai Moriyama), moteki means a complete state of emotional turmoil as he tries to navigate the choppy seas of love amid intermittent waves of euphoria, heartbreak, fantasy and delusion.
Yukiyo Fujimoto, 31, has no money, no aspirations and no girlfriend. Leaving his temp job, he decides to finally get a life and lands a job as a writer for an Internet news site. But love eludes him. At the height of his loneliness and social isolation, out of nowhere springs his season of irresistibility – the arrival of “moteki”.
First, he meets Miyuki (Masami Nagasawa), a fun and gregarious magazine editor, who shares a lot of Yukiyo’s interests but has a boyfriend. Then comes Rumiko (Kumiko Aso), Miyuki’s close friend, a pretty but obsessive office worker. Next is Ai (Riisa Naka), a gaudy young bar hostess. Finally there’s Motoko (Yoko Maki), Yukiyo’s senior colleague, a cool beauty with an acid tongue. “This is all so new for me,” he tells himself. “Just try to stay calm. No expectations.”
Between these four very different women, Yukiyo gets pushed and pulled in all directions. But will Yukiyo reach the elusive promised land of true love (sex included)?
A chronic love klutz is suddenly visited by his “moteki” – a period of sexual magnetism – but is he ready for all the joy, heartbreak, promise, delusion, ecstasy and agony that awaits him?
