Synopsis

Everyone has a story about their "first time."

Here we've got a 27 year-old woman, her name is Machi Takashina.

When she was young, she was the top of her class, the kind that everyone wants to be. But nowadays, she's just your everyday run-of-the-mill girl.

Machi, and her younger brother live in a condominium together, because her parents moved elsewhere for work. Downstairs from them, a whole 10 yards away, is their grandma's veterinary clinic, where their grandma works as a vet.

"My life is boring now that I am an adult"

Machi looked up to her grandma since she was a child, and wanted to become a vet, like her grandma from around the same time. So that is why she studied so hard, and didn't give into the temptations that were always around her. But avoiding those temptations were never really hard for her. The problem is, being a vet isn't all that it was cracked up to be.

"My life is nothing special...no real told hardships and no real fun.

Now that she has the chance to look back on her younger years, she realizes that she's never even experienced love. She's never met "Mr. Right," and that's why she hasn't, well, you know... It's not that she wanted to keep her virginity until she was married, or that she's even tried to protect. In fact, she had plenty of opportunities, but just thought that it was something to give to the one she loved.

"So that's why she's still a virgin at 27"

When you're a top student, everyone is watching you, and you have to live up to their expectations. But now she's starting to get a little worried that she hasn't made the big plunge yet.

"Maybe this stuff about giving it to the one you love is nonsense. These days everybody is getting married a little older, but being this age and never having sex is abnormal. No joke, this is sad. I mean come on, everyone around me thinks I'm an "adult" already."

So Machi sets the clock for her "first time" at 28, but decides maybe she shouldn't wait until so long. It doesn't matter who the guy is, especially if I just do it with someone that I just meet for the first time, then there won't be any long last commitments or anything. Suddenly she gets angry with herself after thinking about doing such a terrible deed. Even her beloved Bruce Lee is saying it "Don't think, feel."

After all of this worrying, Machi runs into a man...to be precise, she runs into someone that she hasn't seen for years-someone from her grade school days, someone that she spent some good times with in Sapporo. His name, Takumi Hirota. Takumi was really good-looking when he transferred into Machi's grade school.

"I was making a big mistake! You only have one "first time," so I have to be careful about who I share it with!!

Then she sets her eyes on the target!!

Superb Drama

Another cool drama Fujiki Naohito (“¡–Ø’¼l)... Personally I feel that there is a strong chemistry between 'Machi' and 'Hirota'!Watching this drama makes me feel much stronger towards relationship and stuff. Not to mention the theme song by D.A.I which matches this drama perfectly. The other 'actor' that we should applause for is "Rukoe" - the cute little cat that 'Hirota' has been holding - ! Was super touched when "Rukoe" wants to leave 'Hirota' to let him live on his own, so as not to depend on it. It's a drama not to be missed!

The idea was good....but.....

Hiro Toyo · 2003

The story is average, and the mood of the drama is very light hearted. There aren't any of that heavy stuff like a lot of conflicts between characters, or huge obstacles standing in each other's way. Most of it is just about the main character on a road to self-discovery towards her feelings for the guy that she likes.
The storyline is really plain; you can't really feel the relationship building up between any of the people.

nice

I like the show, it's light hearted and sweet. Like the dogs and cats too, kawaii! simply love naohito with his cat too, super kawaii!! The ending was nothing impressive, producer just trying very hard to put in some obstacle into their relationship. I like the beginning part though, all the way til she confesses her love.
