Plot
[edit]All the Long Nights follows Takatoshi Yamazoe (Hokuto Matsumura), who struggles with panic disorder and social withdrawal, and Misa Fujisawa (Mone Kamishiraishi), who experiences severe mood swings caused by PMS.

Through their daily conversations and small acts of kindness, they start finding ways to live with their conditions and regain a sense of hope.
