Synopsis
33-year-old Haruta Soichi is a bachelor who works for the sales office of a real estate company. He wants to get married, but he isn’t popular with women. Haruta has a comfortable life living with his parents. But his mother kicks him out of the house all of a sudden in the hope that he will become independent. Haruta is at his wits end. He does not know how to cook or do laundry much less how to pay the utilities bill. At this moment, Maki Ryota, a handsome junior, transfers from the head office. Maki is courteous, works hard and is even good at housework. Haruta proposes to live with Maki and feels relieved to have settled his housework issue. However, Haruta’s boss Kurosawa Musashi brings a bouquet of roses and confesses his feelings for him. – Jdrama Weblog
