Synopsis

This story shines a light on the conflicts and concerns that arise in the workplace precisely because we are human, introducing a “new type of savior” who leads working people toward a path of hope. That savior is Matoba Ataru, a temporary employee who goes by the nickname Ataru. While she always works with a cheerful smile, she harbors a certain secret – she possesses the special ability to see everything about other people, including their worries and inner landscapes.

 

Ataru uses this fortune-telling-like ability to fundamentally resolve the problems faced by the permanent employees around her. This workplace comedy drama, “Temporary Fortune Teller Atar,u” offers what could be called the final spiritual spring cleaning of the Heisei era through a new “work style reform” that provides hope and vitality for the future.
