Unexpected - Love Story in Maison Ginseiso-

The Housekeepers Team

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?

Growing up side by side, the five friends have been a part of each other’s lives for as long as they can remember. But now that they’re in high school, things between the friends are starting to change.

Having developed feelings for Motoaki, Miwa is mortified by the idea of confessing how she feels. Keeping her feelings to herself, Motoaki has no idea how she feels about him; as such, he continues to treat her as he always has: like a friend. Meanwhile, Aoi struggles to hide her own poisonous feelings towards Miwa. Constantly frustrated by her feelings of jealousy and inferiority, Aoi tries to put up a good front, but deep down, her feelings towards Miwa continue to fester. Even with Satoru by her side, Aoi can’t seem to shake her growing contempt.&nbsp;

Fully aware of the constantly fluctuating feelings of his friends, Ritsu decides to keep his distance from them all. But the bonds of friendship keep pulling him back. Will these life-long friends ever find a way to get back what they once had, or has fate decided it’s time for them to move on?
