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.

Miyabi Tachibana (Nakatani Miki) is a successful dermatologist 39-year-old who runs a skincare clinic. She is confident and beautiful, but has not had a boyfriend for five years – although she actually quite enjoys being single. When she attends a school reunion, however, she is overwhelmed by the amount of pity she receives from her former classmates due to the fact that she isn’t married and doesn’t have a boyfriend.

This incident leaves her feeling disoriented and somewhat bitter about the comments she heard. Later, she goes to a meeting held in a restaurant where she talks about what happened at the school reunion. But to her surprise, the eatery’s chef-owner Seiji (Naohito Fujiki) states that Miyabi Tachibana isn’t attractive to most men. This comment makes her angry, but also gets her thinking. She decides to seek out his advice in a bid to change her image. But will this decision lead her to love...or disappointment?

This drama was based on a 2014 novel by Keiya Mizuno.
