Matsunaga Jun is a 29-year-old single man who works as a freelance graphic designer in Tokyo. He lives in a share house that has residents from various age groups. He seems like a feisty person, but he is affectionate and caring. One day, the share house gets a new tenant. The tenant is Sonoda Miko, who is in the 2nd grade of high school. She is a bright girl and likes to take action on her thoughts. Her parents began to run her grandparents' inn, which is located out in the province. Her whole family moved to the province, except for her. Miko didn’t want to move because she didn't want to separate from her friends at school. She now begins to live in the share house where Jun resides. Living together, the residents sometimes have conflicts and sometimes help each other. They grow as people and develop relationships.

Reviews
That is not to say that it's absolutely perfect, alas. Indeed, the script had its moments but also a coupla sloppy passages (like for example the übertrite subplot involving the ML's ex). The cast did well as a whole, but we're honestly not talking of award-granting performances. As for the production value / "packaging", the level was completely fine, but at the same time nothing worth calling home about it.
A decent 8/10 in my book!
Not Good Enough
Japanese Drama '' Living No Matsunaga-san '' is a romantic comedy drama.The start of the series is smooth and enjoyable, as we get to know the characters and their situation. The dynamics are there and the mood is light and fluff.
But, as the drama progresses, things get a bit on the odd side. The main couple was somehow off, and not just because of their age difference, but due to the fact that he was acting as a father figure and she was way too young to be making important life decisions, hence, that twist in the end was a bit off. Also, the most frustrating part was the ex subplot, that was way too weird, as she was the girl's teacher and the guy's ex, thus, it was bizarre for her to be hyping up the relationship as she did.
Finally, the second couple was cute, but they hardly had any moments together.
As for the performances, they were okay.
So, overall, three out of ten.
