Kawai Yoshiko (Sakurako Ohara) once had grand plans for her romantic future. She wanted to marry at age 26, have her first child at age 27, and give birth to her second child at age 29. But now, just a few days ahead of her 29th birthday, all her plans appear to have come to naught. Her boyfriend dumps her, leaving her single and alone. In her despair, she goes to a cafe to wallow in her solace and unhappiness. But there, she runs into Yuki Masaomi (Matsuda Genta), a junior colleague from work.

At the office, Yuki Masaomi is nicknamed “AI,” due to the fact that he looks incredibly handsome, but is emotionally cold, and does not seem to have any empathy. But when Kawai Yoshiko tells her colleague about why she is so unhappy, he comes up with a remarkable offer. If she cannot find a romantic partner before her 30th birthday, he will marry her instead! Could this be his way of telling her that he likes her? Could they be compatible? Or will this offer lead her to further heartbreak?

*Seasons 1, 2, and 3 of "The Night I Became an Animal" are included in this title.*

Sometimes in a woman’s life, passions boil over and lead them to do things that – in ordinary circumstances – they would never dream of doing. And sometimes this manifests itself in a desire for intimacy. This omnibus-style drama series focuses on a different woman in each episode, focusing on the series of events that led up to a single instance of “transforming into an animal.”

In the first episode, a 28-year-old woman (Oshima Ryoka) has been living together with her boyfriend for three years and is frustrated by the fact that their relationship has become completely sexless. When she attends a school reunion, however, she finds herself drawn to an ex-classmate. Will she indulge in her passions? In another episode, a 29-year-old woman (Kojima Riria) who is in an awkward relationship with her boyfriend has a row with him in a restaurant. In another, a woman (Tezuka Mai) considers the idea of workplace romance – while in another, a geeky junior college student (Sakanoue Akane) with no experience in love edges toward her first intimate encounter!

“The Night I Became an Animal” is a 2021-2022 Japanese drama series that was directed by Keinosuke Hara and Hiroki Shibasaki.

Reunited seven years later, will Akihito and Eriko find a way to overcome the pain of the past and the strength they need to write for themselves a better future?

In an attempt to combat the growing number of socially isolated individuals in Japan, the government decides to embark on an ambitious experiment. The nation passes a so-called NEET Protection Law for NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) individuals. As part of the law’s provisions, an agency will attempt to play matchmaker for NEET individuals and government employees. The hope is that doing this will help reintegrate NEET people into mainstream society.

Akiyasu Shin (Seto Toshiki), a 28-year-old civil servant, is one of the first people to take part in the program. But fate plays him an unusual hand, pairing him with a woman named Sawamoto Himari (Kumada Rinka). The biggest issue with this “union” is the fact that Sawamoto Himari was signed up for the program without being informed about the matter! The duo is forced to live together as “husband and wife.” But will they prove incompatible? Or could this unorthodox experiment somehow lead them to true love?

This series was based on a manga series of the same name by Miku Yuuki.
