A cold-looking business woman constantly mocks and degrades her coworker for his mistakes during work. But secretly she's madly in love with him!


Adapted from the manga series "Takane no Hana san" by Murata Kouji.

The story features two people who experience their first love late in life.

Maruya Kosuke is a 29-year-old employee in the sales department of a beer company. Thanks to his good looks he was always popular, receiving many love confessions from women since his youth. However, he experiences a rude awakening the moment he realizes his cuteness has an expiry date.

Sanada Izumi is a researcher at the company. Past experiences have led her to believe she is inferior to others.

Ichinose Kei has just moved to Tokyo Head Office of Yayoi Beer. He was struggling at work, love, and also cuteness but have no choice other than to grow in those areas. One day, he was reunited with his ex-girlfriend Ohara Minami who is now a celebrity. Does this mean the love that has been sealed will start to move again?

Set two years after "Hotaru no Hikari 2" drama series, Hotaru Amemiya learns that her manager (and now husband) Seichi Takano has a dream of vacationing with his loved one in Rome, Italy. Hotaru then plans for a trip to Rome.

Three years ago, the heart of Amemiya Hotaru, the 'dried up female', had settled on Takano 'Buchou', and the 'dried up female' was supposed to have grown up ... However, right after that, Hotaru was posted as a project team member to far-away Hong Kong. She was cut off from 'Buchou' and devoted herself to work. Then, three years later, Hotaru returns to Japan after finishing the project. She is assigned to the First Planning Department, where 'Buchou' belongs, and immediately begins work as one of the team members. However, both the staff as well as the mood in the company have changed a great deal.

Hotaru works for a famous interior design company. It's a glamorous job, but Hotaru's private life is totally the opposite of glamorous. She lives alone, and when she isn't working, she's mostly lazing about her rented house in training wear. She's not interested in men. In fact, she isn't interested in anything. "I'd rather lay around than fool around," is her motto. Her landlord is a bar owner, and one day, his son, who has just separated from his wife, comes to inspect the rental property, not knowing that someone is living there. He is shocked at the mess, but not as shocked as Hotaru. He turns out to be her boss, Takano.
