Missing the last train of the day on Tokyo’s Keio Line at Meidaimae Station, college student Mugi Yamane (Masaki Suda) encounters Kinu Hachiya (Kasumi Arimura). Finding they have near identical tastes in music and movies, the couple quickly hit it off and embark on a romance that has them move in together when they graduate from college. They work temp jobs as they interview for full-time employment. They pick up a stray cat. Even as the iconic Shibuya Parco store closes and the mainstay TV show, SMAP×SMAP, airs its last show, Mugi and Kinu seek a status quo. They are inseparable and spend “the best 5 years ever!” hoping they’ll always be together. The many seasons they spend together will rekindle your memories of a halcyon time when the world was full of love.

The main character is an unassuming art teacher who came to the school two years ago. It is ten days before graduation and the students' high school days are about to come to an end uneventfully--or so it seemed.
The teacher gathers his 29 students and says,
"From this moment, you are my hostages."
A blast rips through the campus and the kids are flustered. In an instant, the teacher-student relationship turns into a criminal-hostage relationship. This is the beginning of their "final class," which is about the truth behind the suicide of their classmate a few months ago. With no suicide note or last words, the school's star student suddenly left this world. One teacher holds 29 students hostage and makes them face the truth about something they all put a lid and turned their backs on. Why did their classmate suddenly commit suicide? Why did the teacher decide to take such a sensational approach to conducting his final class?

A teacher's final class becomes the stage for a chain reaction between the mysterious details surrounding the incident. Depicted within ten days, this time-limited drama series highlights people who are dying to live. A shocking school mystery beyond anyone's expectations! Until the truth is unveiled, nobody can graduate.

Twenty-eight-year-old Etsuko Kono is the ultimate fashionista. Overflowing with curiosity, she's constantly asking "why?" and "how?"

Etsuko's lifelong dream is to become an editor for a fashion magazine. She's applied numerous times while taking on part-time jobs to make ends meet, but to no avail. Then finally, she bags an offer from a large publishing house, only to find out that she's been assigned to the least glamorous department in the company--the Proofreading Department! Not easily discouraged, Etsuko dons a flashy ensemble and heads off to her proofreading job.

Etsuko is the type of woman who isn't satisfied unless she meticulously investigates every single issue, and it reflects on her unique proofreading style, which is so bold and daring that is leads to one trouble after another! Whether it's forcing her way into uncharted places that are difficult to enter, or infiltrating a crime scene that's being investigated by a tabloid so she can get the facts herself, Etsuko goes all-out to take proofreading to new dimensions!

"If your dreams don't come true, is your life a failure?"
"But as long as you put all your heart into it, any job can be a blast!"
"Long live unglamorous jobs!"
