Story
One night, Kuraji Shunsuke is on the way home from his part-time job when he sees a cart appear from the light carrying Senka, a woman dressed as a courtesan. He is stunned for a moment but collects himself thinking that he had hallucinated. However, when he returns to his uncle Takehiko’s house where he is staying, he finds Senka there for some reason! Takehiko says Senka seemed to have lost her bearings in front of his house and he invited her inside. Takehiko’s daughter Hisano, who is a history buff and very interested in the Edo Period, is extremely excited to see Senka’s courtesan appearance. Senka introduces herself to the Kuraji family as Senka from Ryohachiya. Shunsuke tries to drive out Senka, suspecting that she is a new type of fraudster. However, Takehiko and Hisano decide to let her stay because they consider this some sort of fate. The next day, when Senka goes out, the people around her look curiously at her appearance and try to take photos with their smartphones. Senka is frightened by this spectacle which she is seeing for the first time, and wonders where this place is. Meanwhile, Hisano is at the library looking up information on Senka. She finds a woodblock print of the Edo period which depicts a courtesan who strongly resembles Senka, and learns that Senka was a real courtesan and legend in Yoshiwara in 1860. Not knowing how to return to Edo, Senka prepares to stay here for a while and decides to work part-time at the cafe where Shunsuke works. At the cafe, Shunsuke gets flustered by Senka who serves customers in the style of Yoshiwara’s courtesans. Kasuga Izumi, the friend whom Shunsuke is secretly in love with, pays a visit. Senka notices his romantic feelings. Thinking that she is better than everyone else at winning someone’s heart, she declares that she will play matchmaker for the two of them. Senka mounts a strategy making full use of courtesan’s techniques. The love story centred around a courtesan who swooped down in the Reiwa era is set in motion!
Characters
Okada Miyu as Senka
A high-ranking courtesan who lives in Yoshiwara during the Edo period. She hates unsophisticated and illogical things and talks down to both customers and wealthy people. She suddenly travels in time from the Edo period and ends up working part time at the cafe where Kuraji Shunsuke works. She has a strong sense of duty and compassion but there are also occasions when she is too nosey and meddlesome. Even though she knows that she will have to return to Edo some day, she becomes attached to the people of Tokyo. She loves sweet things and the cream puff that is served at the cafe is her favourite.
Hayama Shono as Kuraji Shunsuke
The son of the CEO of a big company. Although he got a job at the company, it was not to his liking and he quit in three months. He has been disowned by his father. He is now staying at the house where his uncle Kuraji Takehiko and cousin Hisano live, and works at the cafe that Takehiko runs. He likes Kasuga Izumi who is his former high school classmate and a regular at the cafe, but he has never told her about his feelings. He is argumentative, bad at communicating with other people and also bad at love. He ends up living under the same roof with Senka. He gets pushed around but also influenced by her.
Yoshitani Ayako as Kasuga Izumi
She works for an internet advertising company. Even though it is a company that she admires, she faces a big hurdle. She keeps pushing herself to work harder and harder. As she is not the type who is able to live life to the fullest, she admires Senka but also pushes back. She only sees Kuraji Shunsuke as a former high school classmate but slowly starts to get attracted to him.
Maeda Goki as Torii Naoki
The CEO of the internet advertising company. Kasuga Izumi’s boss. He thinks that there’s no meaning in life if he is not number one and constantly wants to improve his standing. He likes people who have talent and are able to work hard. Senka is the type that he has never met before and he gradually gets interested in her.
Tanaka Naoki as Kuraji Takehiko
Kuraji Shunsuke’s widowed uncle. He is the owner of the cafe that Shunsuke and Senka work at. He is the type who is not particularly concerned about the details and is the complete opposite of his rational and hard-nosed older businessman brother, who is Shunsuke’s father. He has a big heart and readily accepts Senka. Although he looks irresponsible, he cares about Shunsuke and his daughter Hisano. He wishes that the younger generation will find solutions on their own when they run into problems, and take action in their own way.
