Based on the manga by Yayoi Ogawa.

Iwaya Sumire, who works at the Kodan Newspaper Company, is a beautiful and intelligent career woman with model-like looks and a sharp mind, but in reality she is sensitive and clumsy when it comes to love. One day, while feeling stressed after a broken heart and a demotion, Sumire finds a young man named Goda Takeshi abandoned in a cardboard box in front of her house. Seeing that he resembles a pet she once had, Sumire suggests that he live with her as a pet, and surprisingly, he accepts. This is a unique romantic comedy that depicts the strange life of the two living together.
