Story
51-year-old Daidoji Tamotsu is a department manager of a mid-sized specialised trading company. A dedicated salesman with a sincere heart, he has been so focused on his career that he has never had the chance or opportunity to meet a woman for marriage. However, things changed when Tamotsu met 23-year-old Hanazawa Miran, a young woman with a charming smile and warm personality. One day, Tamotsu visits a hotel for negotiations with a client. Seeing a happy couple who have just celebrated their wedding, sets his mind on marriage with Miran, and he proposes. At that moment, Hanazawa Kiichiro, an elite salaryman who works for a large general trading company, hears from his wife Shizuka that their eldest daughter Miran has a boyfriend and this man will come to their home soon. Of course little does he know that Miran’s boyfriend is the same age as him. But the words of his second daughter Marino and son Hario talking about Miran “liking fairly useless guys” and “unexpectedly fooling around” exacerbates his anxiety. The day arrives. Miran brings Tamotsu home in a tense atmosphere and introduces him as her boyfriend. Kiichiro who had heard that her boyfriend was 26 years old is stunned to see that Tamotsu is clearly of the same generation as he is. On the other hand, Tamotsu also cannot hide his surprise that the despicable man he had seen in a magazine previously is Miran’s father. Despite the reactions of her boyfriend and father, Miran tells her family about her romance with Tamotsu. But Tamotsu and Kiichiro clash because of differences in lifestyle and mindset although they are both of the same age and work for trading companies. Kiichiro is vehemently against their marriage. At the end of a heated argument, Miran declares that she will leave. After that, a series of problems erupt in what Kiichiro had believed to be the ideal family and he starts to question his way of life so far.
