Living-Room Matsunaga-san

Japan is great at making manga, so they always have new ideas for TV shows. One example is "Living-Room Matsunaga-san", a drama based on Keiko Iwashita's popular manga. The manga was in Dessert magazine from 2016 to 2021.

In 2024, a live-action drama version started on Fuji TV and Kansai TV, directed by Ken Higurashi and Junichi Kanai. It's about Miko Sonoda, a high school girl who moves into her uncle's boarding house because of family issues.

Miko is nervous when she first comes, thinking someone is following her. But the "stalker" is actually Jun Matsunaga, a 29-year-old designer with a quick temper who lives in the boarding house. Their awkward first meeting makes Miko worry about her new life.

As she stays with Jun and the other unique people there, Miko learns that living with adults isn't so bad. She even starts to fall for Jun.
