Synopsis

Written by Matsumoto Yuki, who won the Jury’s Special Prize in the 2023 Nippon TV Scenario Writer Contest, this drama follows Hatano Genichi (Oikawa Mitsuhiro), a clumsy but warm-hearted 50-year-old man, as he falls in love with Sakuta Saku, a cool 38-year-old junior high school teacher who happens to be gay.

When Genichi suggests buying a house under both their names, Kusunoki Hotaru, a troubled 15-year-old girl who spends her days hanging around “Toyoko” bluntly declares, “I’ll buy you. For 30 million yen. Pretend to be my parent for the six months until I graduate junior high school.” And so begins a strange, three-person cohabitation.
