The ultimate human comedy lets adults both laugh and cry!!

Former stock trader Goro Yamashita, age 45, was the provider and mainstay for his family... until his beloved wife, Taeko, passed away three years ago. Since then, he’s been a total shut-in. He was once a wonderful father who both excelled at his career and dearly loved his family, but that love was so strong that the shock nearly broke him. Unable to accept his wife’s death, he still hasn’t visited her grave.
Taeko Yamashita was like a goddess to her family, serving as the emotional foundation for all of them until she died in a traffic accident three years ago, when she was 36. She was young and beautiful, charming and gentle, the perfect wife and mother.
A third-year high school student, the Yamashita family’s only daughter Tomo has been efficiently handling all the household chores ever since her mother Taeko passed away when Tomo was in her third year of junior high. She used to be a spoiled child who adored both her parents, but since her father shut himself in, she had no choice but to mature quickly.

Tomo struggles to take care of her useless father, until suddenly a suspicious middle-aged man appears before Goro. In fact, that man is none other than Goro’s wife Taeko, who was so worried about her husband that she came back to life as a middle-aged man!

This drama explores the age-old question: Which is more important, a person’s looks, or what’s inside? And it does so through the extreme situation of a beautiful deceased wife transforming into a middle-aged man!

How are people supposed to live on after they’ve lost someone dear to them?
Does continuing to love that someone bring nothing but pain, or happiness as well?
This is a story of the ultimate pure love, packaged in surrealistic comedy.

Work or romance, it's always an uphill battle. Yet nothing gets this neophyte prosecutor down. This zany workplace drama is sure to perk you up!


Main character Ririko Takemura just entered her second year of work at the Yokohama Public Prosecutors Office. The eldest daughter of a tofu shop owner in downtown Tokyo, she is 29 years old and lives with her parents. Ririko is still a novice and quite clumsy all around, but she gives 100% to everything that comes her way. Your image of a "prosecutor" might be that of a perfect person, but Ririko is a character full of human flaws. She is inflexible and a vocal champion of justice, but she also laughs, cries, and readily expresses her joy and anger. Ririko is certainly the type anybody would want to root for.

It goes without saying that the job of a prosecutor is an enormous responsibility. On top of that, there are convicts who underestimate women simply because of their gender, which makes the profession even more emotionally challenging. As if her career isn't already tough enough, everything in Ririko's life seems to be hanging by a thread. Her boyfriend is pushing her to choose between marriage and work, her father might be having an affair, and there's a chance one of her suspects was charged on false accusations. But as she solves one crime and one personal problem after another, Ririko matures as a prosecutor and a woman.

As she tackles every case head-on without giving up despite the worries and pains that come with being a prosecutor, Ririko will inspire women the world over to wake up to a new day with optimism and strength.
