Glowing, Growing is a unique little movie produced entirely by film students in which two young outsiders join a mass suicide group in an attempt to gain freedom. Along the way they both re-discover the positive aspects of life, giving them the opportunity to weigh the pros and cons of choosing to live or die

Shuntaro, a no-good guy who decided to become a manga artist on a whim and quit his job, and Kiriko from Hyogo, who works part-time to support Shuntaro's shared life. One day, Shuntaro gets sick to his stomach, and a series of troublesome events begin to occur around them, gradually causing trouble to the people around them. A love story that humorously depicts the same-sex life between a no-good man from Tokyo and a reliable Kansai woman in a corner of the city.
