Summary: Fumihiko Matsumaru is an average salaryman with no girlfriend. He invited his colleague Miss Tanaka to a movie but was stood up. Right at the time he was about to toss tickets into a trash can, a cute girl appeared and asked him not to waste those two tickets. After movie and dinner, he escorted her home and found they live in the same neighborhood, yet unfortunately her apartment caught on fire hours later. Having nowhere else to stay, rookie seiyuu Aka Onda moved to Matsumaru's place, and the two had started a "more than friend but not yet lovers" relationship under the same roof while keeping this secret from their employers.

I really liked this animation for several reasons: First is a very different type of romantic comedy to what is usually show cast in anime, might say that it's more adult, or at least deals with more adult subjects than most comedies, which gives it a very down to earth kinda of feeling; you might know people like the characters of REC, or may be one yourself.

Second, it's completely different from the usual "boy has a crush on girl and dares not to make a move", it has a completely different pace. And third, it's just so funny and cute at times.

Animation overall is very good, adequate for the story being told. The story in itself is great, and even more great because of it's clarity. Dialogues are overall good. If you want to have a good time, and don't mind romance, I recommend you to watch it. See at least two episodes before deciding.

One "negative" [not really negative] is that the interactions are very very Japanese, and respond to the Japanese culture and society. Some things that happen or things people say might look weird to you, if you're not familiar with Japanese modern culture.
