The main character provides a highly unusual service by offering his companionship in exchange for the humble fee of covered transportation costs and payment of his food and beverage tab. Joining others to file legal papers, enjoying a denied icy treat, or riding a train’s entire loop just for the fun of it are typical of the requests he takes on. He is blessed with a young son and an extremely supportive wife. Interestingly enough, this person who does nothing, save for answering the simplest of questions manages to warm the hearts of the people he meets. ~~ Based on the real story of a young man named Morimoto Shouji.

Big on slice of life and it is so beautiful...

Super sweet series! big on slice of life!
Money dosen't make happiness, but pursuing what you like to do and on your terms,
and seeing the little things in life; it dosen't have to be anything big, it can be as little as "not doing anything" a quote often used in the series and the main characters's motto. Not giving in to how society's expectations on how
to live life, having a high paying job, a steady income of money, pursuing other's dreams but your own, not being true to yourself... etc. etc. there is a lot to learn from this series.

And it is an absolutely wonderful, chillaxing and high on loving life -little masterpiece of a series...
in my book it would be one of my 'top must watches' and a actual favorite I could go watch again, not bc of forgetting it but how much good and loving energy it gives off from only watching it !

Thank you for making this series, just what I needed -any day,
as I am myself very diffrent, apart from society's expectations.
Please "go live life, don't just survive" -this may have very diffrent meaning for every individual, it may be a lifestyle, a dream job, a treat every once a week, nothing having to do much on a daily basis, being able to spend time more with the family, for some it would be money to go to other places... whatever it may be, as long as it is a healthy for you to do and a way to really feel and be loving life! :)

He is the best!

This guy is a wonderful role model- he basically stepped off the rat race and the chess board of life and started to live and act with presence rather than performance- social performance, career, and family performance. It is so freeing to watch and live through Morimoto’s life as he escapes the ego gridn and offers others a sanctuary of space. It says he does nothing, but actually what he gives others is truly a gift that cannot be put into words. He gives the gift of himself, his presence, and his light. Obviously those in the rat race around him would never understand what he is doing, and how he navigates all this like the parents, wife, and kid is part of the story.

The life of “non-doing”- a spiritually high state that one should aspire to.
