Best friends with a person you’ve never met in real life?

The arrival of social networks and e-mail enabled cellphones brought a new phenomenon to Japan, the merutomo (e-mail friend). People find new friends, but sometimes you can even find your soulmate! Find out what kind of friendship is developing in this story!
