Yuri moved from the countryside to Tokyo to find work, where she met and married Kazuo. While struggling to pay off the mortgage on her home, she led a hectic but happy life. Coming from the countryside and not originally interested in fashion, Yuri's trademark was black-rimmed glasses, both after she moved to Tokyo and after she got married. Naturally, she had nothing to do with romance, but when Kawakami came to visit her to sell insurance, she was persuaded and fell deeper into the abyss. Her husband was unaware that his wife was becoming more beautiful each time she discovered the joys of being a woman. And Yuri fell deeper and deeper into the abyss.
