A short lived series about two people from different walks of life who meet, have sex, become friends and fall in love. The boy is a advertising copy writer for a snack company. He meets a girl who takes pity on him when he is stood up on a date. She saves his evening and then they part, probably never to see each other again, except that her apartment house burns down later that night and he sees her standing in the rain. He offers her shelter. It's all supposed to be very good-neighborly and platonic, but her shock causes her to cling to him for more than simple comfort and they wind up having sex. The next day they agree it was all a mistake and she will find her own place as soon as she can. He goes to work where the company is auditioning voice actresses for a new snack. Lo and behold, the girl, who is a novice actress, is trying out for the job. She gets the job. Time passes. She begins to get other acting jobs. Her stay at his apartment continues, but without a repeat of their one sexual encounter. He begins to fall for her but she's not willing to commit to a relationship. Tensions build. There are arguments. They break up. They get back together. All in all, it's an interesting slice of life of a world that should be of interest to anime fans, i.e. the world of the actors who bring to life the characters of the shows they love.

jaysshukla20 September 2021A Seinen anime that talks about the relations between Fumihiko Matsumaru, a 26-year-old average salaryman and the 20 year old Aka Onda, an aspiring voice actress. The storyline is just average. It shows the struggles of the two main characters in their respective lives and how they try to overcome them and how this all affects their relationship. It does better in terms of characterization just like many other Seinen anime.
Fumihiko Matsumaru has to deal with his seemingly boring life. Like most of the adults in their 20s, he struggles in his both personal and the professional life. He also easily succumbs to his inner desires as it was evident that he was still very considerate towards the woman who broke his heart. Aka Onda is the complete opposite of this. She is ambitious and is ready to make adjustments for the professional gain. The ending didn't really feel too special as the characters simply patched up after having a brief argument. It was noticeable that Aka was finally more genuine towards Fumihiko and Fumihiko too apparently found some fun element as well.
To be honest, the anime itself is nothing special but it is not entirely unwatchable. You really do feel for the characters and would be able to relate to them. What makes it more acceptable is that it has only 9 episodes, each being 13 minutes long. -
