Atmospheric, Intriguing, artistic without being pretentious. This Drama delivers on all fronts.

A struggling writer suddenly finds four women in his house claiming to have been invited to rent rooms there for (you guessed it!) 1 Million yen... per month. That's roughly $8,800 usd for a single room the size of my closet... per month.

Who are these women and why would anyone agree to this?

This is the mystery but the more we know about the characters and their circumstances the more questions we have. Each has their reasons, their own background and personality.

Character driven from beginning to end with an artistic flair that enhances the atmosphere rather than just be a bit of mindless eye candy. Easily the best drama I've watched all year. This hidden gem is worth a watch.

The one thing that stops it from being a perfect 10 is the rushed reveal at the end. The series would have benefited from an episode or two more for that part.
