Koji Seto

A perpetual people-pleaser, 24-year-old Makoto Ogata (Meru Nukumi) tends to keep to herself, avoiding showing her true self in both her private life and at work. However, after an accident, Makoto ends up with temporary amnesia, and finds a men's ring in her bag, but can't remember who she intended to give it to. Soon, three men – Kotaro Nishi (Koji Seto), Yuki Asahi (Fuju Kamio), and Ritsu Itagaki (Ryubi Miyase) appear – but to her dismay, the ring fits perfectly on all three of them. Between the three men, who self-proclaim to be her ex-lover, her only male friend, and her fated partner, respectively, are any of them who Makoto meant to give the ring to... or is it none of them?

Tsukimi Kurashita (Kyoko Yoshine) lost her mother to illness while she was still a young girl. Her enduring memory of her mother is jellyfish – after an emotional visit to an aquarium with her mother. Ever since, she has been completely obsessed with these aquatic creatures.

She lives in a Tokyo apartment with a group of young women on the fringes of society, most of whom have little or no romantic experience, shun outsiders, and are unemployed.

Tsukimi Kurashita dreams of escaping this dreary apartment and her housemates. She wants to retreat into her own world and become an illustrator.

But her life is sent on a brand new course on the fateful day when she quarrels with an uppity pet store clerk about a jellyfish, which she believes may be on the verge of death.

A remarkable looking stranger intervenes: a stunning beauty queen (who later turns out to be a cross-dressing man): Kuranosuke Koibuchi (Koji Seto). The stranger buys the jellyfish for Tsukimi Kurashita, who repays the favor by letting this exotic beauty stay with her at the apartment – much to the disdain of her housemates.

But the chaos has only just begun, as both Koibuchi Kuronosuke and his brother Koibuchi Shu (Asuka Kudo) slowly begin to fall for Tsukimi Kurashita…

This drama was based on a hit manga series of the same name, and also spawned an animated series and a 2014 live-action film.

“Princess Jellyfish” is a 2018 Japanese drama series that was directed by Ishikawa Junichi.
