Synopsis
Cheerful and tenacious Kisara Hanae grew up in an orphanage and aspires to represent Japan in karate. However, her dream is suddenly cut short at the age of 21. After losing everything, Hanae’s life hits rock bottom. Despite feeling listless each day, she starts working part-time for her childhood friend Natsukawa Shingo’s house cleaning service, Sunshine Cleaning. One day, Hanae makes a visit to the house of a customer Ashida Haruki, a one-hit musician who has seen better days. He turns out to be the composer of the song that she always listened to before her karate matches. Ashida is on the verge of being fired by his agency in two months if he does not produce a hit song. Hanae has been devoted to karate all this while and never been in love while Ashida cannot write good songs since he does not understand people’s hearts. The two of them unexpectedly join hands and take a crack at a fake yet real romance. Flashy Shingo has been in love with Hanae and frets about Ashida and Hanae as they suddenly get close to each other. A love triangle soon develops. But Hanae has a “secret” that she cannot tell anyone about and decides this will be the last romance of her life.
