“Any female can become a princess.” Having this as the main moto of the story, a geeky girl called Kurashita Tsukimi who’s dream is to become an illustrator one day, moves out to a city, not to attend a vocational school or for work purposes, but simply to chill out in her apartment in her own world. She and her peers feel that society is something that they aren’t on par with.

In the midst of her life’s journey, jellyfish is something that she begins to adore very much, due to some great childhood memories at an aquarium with her mother. When she first saw one, she dreamt that one day she wants to wear a dress just like these species. So, her mother promises her that she will make a wedding dress just for her which looks like a jellyfish. But, her mother suddenly passes away, which allures her into a world of adoration for these species. Eventually, she begins to disregard everything that goes around her, and dedicates her whole life to it.

However, her life turns around all of a sudden, as she gets caught up in a triangular love relationship. Eventually, she realizes that she still has a chance of falling in love with someone for the first time, as she gradually discovers new ways of doing things.

Based on the original story by author Nakatani Mayumi, a ‘corporative house’ may be understood as a house in a residential complex, whereby the residents exchange various opinions between themselves to make their lifestyles better. This new style of housing is often cheaper than owning a detached house, and many residents focus a lot on the design.

In the drama, Nana and Daiki are surrounded by various families who all have different intentions of their own. This environment makes their lifestyles very complicated, as issues like privacy becomes a major topic for them. Moreover, they soon get pulled in to a whirlwind of strife and complexities.

Three elite siblings—a doctor (eldest son), a lawyer (only daughter), and a cop (youngest son)—go all out to solve a “problem” that’s destroying their family’s peace.
You can be sure this family will solve any problem. They conduct strategy meetings during their family meetings, and “the family’s happiness” is always top priority–more important than the law or common sense.

Leading the cast of characters is Kitazawa Shusaku (Yamada Ryosuke), a University of Tokyo graduate who works at the Metropolitan Police Department. He’s one of the few who has potential to rise to the ranks of the elite executives. Assigned to the Police Affairs Department, Shusaku studies day and night for the promotion exam in hopes of one day becoming the police commissioner. The drawback is that his sense of justice is too strong.

Equally exceptional are his older sister Chiaki (Haru) and big brother Hirofumi (Ozawa Yukiyoshi). Chiaki is a high-flying lawyer who is blessed with both beauty and brains. Her intellectual prowess and eloquence earn her the reputation of “the Kitazawa family’s brains.” Like Shusaku, Chiaki is a champion of justice but her take on things are “odd” and she ends up shocking people quite frequently. Simply put, she has no common sense.

No one doubts that the eldest brother Hirofumi is a young and talented heart surgeon. His juniors have strong faith in him and he’s rumored to be in line to becoming the medical director, even from this early on in his career. His only flaw is that he really loves himself.

Surely, no problem can stand against the elite trio of “cop,” “lawyer,” and “doctor.” They should be able to solve any issue even before it begins. But the older two have personalities and opinions so strong that the youngest Shusaku ends up picking up the slack.

Such was how they were raised by their father Kitazawa Taizo (Nakamura Baijaku), headmaster of the private middle school Kitazawa Academy. His book on his “secrets” to raising three University of Tokyo graduates became a bestseller and the number of parents dreaming of putting their kids into Kitazawa Academy exploded. Taizo achieved prominence for successfully running a topnotch private middle school, but…

Step into the world of three weird siblings as they weave a ridiculous but somehow beautiful story of family love. Will the lead character, the youngest child who became a cop but somewhat lacks an elitist pretense, mature as a person? Family love vs work ethics–this is the struggle the Kitazawa family is mired in, and they always wind up splitting hairs asking, “Why does it turn out that way?” Follow their antics in this racy “ROTF comedy” fit for the entire family!

A precious, touching drama…
