東京で一人暮らしをしながら、持ち家取得に奔走する20代女性の沼越幸の家探しの物語を主軸に、様々な事情・環境・想いを持った色々な世代の女性の「ひとりだけの自分の家」にまつわるエピソードが綴られている。
The percentage of unmarried women in their 20s has exceeded 60% and the average age at which they are marrying for the first time is 29.2 years while the percentage of those in their 20s who have purchased an apartment is 12.7% and the average age of a buyer is 36.8 years. A house probably trumps marriage in the first big choice that females make in their lives. 26-year-old Numagoe Sachi works at a Japanese-style pub and earns an annual income of 2.5 million yen. She lives in an old apartment on a street lined with high-rise buildings in Tokyo. Her routine is to spend her off-days going around to Mochii Real Estate’s apartment showroom in town with the objective of having her own house even though she has no plans to get married. Date Seiichi, who acts as a guide for clients; Kaname Riko and Akutsu Marie who are in charge of the reception desk; and new trainee Okuda Naoto work at the showroom. Sachi scrutinises the showroom with a dispassionate seriousness that is nothing like someone just browsing around, and she asks questions that put professionals to shame amid the couples and families seeking their “paradise on earth”. With her trademark braids, Sachi looks younger than her age and does not seem as if she can afford the very expensive apartments. Her presence becomes a mystery to the showroom staff. Why does Sachi intend to buy an apartment alone? In truth, she suddenly lost the house that her family used to congregate at in the past. (credits: jdramas.wordpress.com)
