Fans of Goro Sugabe have a new reason to celebrate today. The talented author, who is already quite famous for popular works like "Daddy Darling" and "At a Mountain Hut," has just seen his latest book hit the shelves. The new title, "When I Hunted for AI, I Was Introduced to a Man (32-Year-Old Freelance Male)," was officially released by the publisher Mag Garden today, March 13th. It is always exciting to see fresh stories from creators who have a unique way of telling tales about human connections.
A Unique Take on Love and Technology
The story follows a man named Sakura, who is a 32-year-old single fellow. Now, Sakura is someone who is extremely shy by nature and has literally never had any kind of romantic experience in his life. Because he finds it so difficult to fall in love or even talk to people on his own, he decides to take a big step and registers at a friendship and marriage agency. This isn't just any regular agency; it is a place where people of various sexualities gather to find meaningful partnerships. For readers looking for something different, why you should read When I Hunted for AI becomes clear as soon as you see how the plot twists from the very first match.
However, technology isn't always perfect. During his first match-up, there is a bit of a blunder. Due to an unexpected AI mistake, Sakura gets introduced to another male named Kaitani instead of a female partner. Because of how the agency's system works, Sakura is actually bound to go on at least three dates with his match. So, he basically has no choice but to go through with it and meet Kaitani. To his surprise, when they actually meet in person, Kaitani turns out to be a really good-looking young man. This leaves Sakura feeling quite confused and wondering why such a handsome person would even need to register with a marriage agency in the first place.
