[edit] Synopsis
Having a new job at Heart Sports' sales department, Kanji (Oda Yuji) came to Tokyo, where he met his new colleague Rika (Suzuki Honami) and reunited with his best old friends Mikami (Eguchi Yosuke) and Satomi (Arimori Narimi) who Kanji and Mikami both had always been attracted to since their highschool. After seeing Mikami forcedly kissing Satomi, Kanji felt despair, however, then quickly developed strong affection for Rika who was always energetic, funny, encouraging and caring. Their relationship was rather unstable to begin with, given Kanji's history with Satomi as well as Rika's (not so) secret affair with her and Kanji's boss Sendo (Nishioka Tokuma) [this affair was much more of a determinant in the original manga than in the drama, when Rika got pregnant bearing Sendo's child (not shown in the drama version), which was one of the reasons why Kanji chose Satomi over Rika]. In the meantime, denied by Satomi who thought Mikami was just playing with her, Mikami's attempts on pursuing his med school classmate Nagasaki (Sendo Akiho) had also been with much frustration.
