Atsuhiro Inukai

Hitomi Mamoru (Honoka Yahagi) is an HR consultant. She works for a company that prefers to use her as a publicist, however. The firm has tried to exploit her social media success by making her the face of the company – meaning she spends most of her working life giving interviews and entertaining special guests. But this has left her feeling deeply unsatisfied: What she really wants to do is work at the heart of the human resources industry.

One night, her frustrations boil over and she decides to head out to a bar – without any makeup on – to drink and forget her woes. While she is there, she meets a charming stranger called Sakyo Shiori (Atsuhiro Inukai). He showers her with compliments, and she is taken in by his charisma. Before she knows it, it’s the next morning and she wakes up at his house! Little does she know, however, that all is not quite as it seems… Sakyo Shiori is the CEO of a company called Jet Black. This firm has been struggling with employee retention, and Sakyo Shiori wants Hitomi Mamoru to turn Jet Black’s fortunes around. Will she agree? And could this unusual encounter lead them to love?

This drama was based on a manga series by Yatsumi Tsumu.

With the sudden appearance of the handsome Igarashi (Kenta Izuka), Mob finds himself dealing with a whole new set of problems. With Igarashi vying for Kikuchi’s affection, Mob finds himself forced to prove that he’s not only the best man for Kikuchi but still the best man to play this world’s main character.

Epiphany of True Self

It is the summer of the third year of high school, and the normally straight-laced 17-year-old Umi Sakura (Mio Yuki) finds herself strangely attracted to Mahiro Harukawa (Yuki Inoue), an older classmate who has become the school’s biggest rebel. With his outstanding dyed hair and his sneering attitude to authority, teachers and fellow students alike think that he is trouble. But Umi Sakura and Mahiro Harukawa share unhappy memories of abuse at the hands of the adults in their lives, and their difficult pasts draw them closer together – even though he warns her that his love could be tinged with darkness.

They soon find a strange and troubling quest to share, when they come across a voice message left on a cellphone answering machine. The message is from a boy who appears to be telephoning Santa Claus, although he gives some shocking information and makes an unsettling Christmas request. As they look into the message, they realize that originates from a number that technically could not make calls. The deeper they look, the darker the mystery becomes – even threatening to derail their young lives…

Born and raised in a small rural town, Nami Suzuki (Mone Kamishiraishi) has lived a very average, ordinary life. With no particular dreams and no real ambition, Nami doesn’t really want much out of life. If she can find moderate amounts of work and love, she’s convinced she’ll be happy.&nbsp;

In order to pursue that moderate love, Nami follows her childhood friend and long-time crush, Kenya (Inukai Atsuhiro) to Tokyo, where she hopes to get a job in the supply management department of the same publishing company where Kenya works. Unfortunately Nami’s plans don’t work out exactly the way she imagined they would. Rather than working in the supply management department, Nami is hired to work in the editorial department of one of the company’s fashion magazines. Not really taking her job seriously, Nami soon earns the scorn of her hard-working editor-in-chief, Reiko Horai (Nanao).

Rather than letting Reiko’s criticism get her down, Nami allows it to inspire her to have bigger dreams of her own. With her attitude about work gradually changing, Nami finds that her thoughts on love have also started to change, especially after meeting cameraman Junnosuke Horai (Yuta Tamamori). With a new-found determination now driving her, will Nami have what it takes to make her new-found dreams come true?
