Nothing she does ever comes out right, and she receives a scolding from her father every day. Her only relief is the trust she places in her prayers to the gods.

One day, while at Fushimi Inari shrine, she meets a freewheeling young man named Kihachi Sakamoto. He rejects the gods and boasts of the incoming age of electricity. The topic of marriage suddenly comes up in Inako's household, and Inako is about to give up hope. It is then that Kihachi draws out Inako's true feelings of wanting to run away from her family.

The only way to stop her marriage is to find an unusual book called the "Electrical Catalog." The book is a prediction book about electricity that Kihachi wrote when he was a child, but his older brother Seiroku stole it, and its current whereabouts are unknown. Inako and Kihachi set out to find the book across Kyoto and Shiga prefectures.
