A maverick man arrives at Yūhigaoka School. The drama incorporates educational issues as well as family problems and adult romance, and can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Nakadai is an English teacher at a local school. He’s put-upon like the patron figure of dozens of films and televisions shows. Viewers who are especially fans of Nakadai will appreciate how the actor comically rants about here. His home life is almost disastrous, with a ditzy (but attractive) wife, three young children, a loud school nearby that’s controlled by a corrupt businessman he loathes, and frequent visits from layabout friends. And the grey-furred, green-eyed cat!

The middle-aged couple at the center of this drama somehow seems to pull through despite constant quarreling. The critical husband has clearly found his match in an equally combative wife, with one hilarious encounter after another revealing the love/hate relationship which typically underlies modern marriages.

This is the story of a couple who broke up before marriage and reunite after more than a decade. Keiichirō (Ikkyō Furuya) and Kiriko (Ayumi Ishikawa) are unable to forget one another and end up getting together, but Kiriko and Keiichirō’s wife, Ayako (Hiroko Shino), are close friends who have known each other since childhood…

TV series produced by MBS and TOEI, based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Seiichi Morimura.
