He meets a veteran editor who is about to retire, an elderly scholar who devotes his life to the study of the Japanese language, a charlatan who gradually develops a love for dictionaries, and the woman of his dreams. Amidst these unique characters, Umashime immerses himself in the world of dictionaries. With the bond of language, their lives are gently knitted together. However, the dictionary editing department is riddled with problems. Will "Ootokai" ever be completed?
