Mariko doesn't wait for permission to take up space. A nurse who eats what she wants, says what she thinks, and somehow gets asked on a date anyway, this show treats her the way rom-coms usually treat their conventionally pretty leads, which means she gets to just live. Nagi shows up not as a savior but as someone who actually likes her, and the show knows the difference. Six episodes of someone finally getting to be the protagonist of her own life instead of the punchline of someone else's.
Mariko is a plus-sized nurse whose favorite thing in the world is eating. She has never had any romantic experience and believes love simply has no place in her life. That changes at a group date she gets invited to, where she meets Nagi, a handsome man. Soon afterward he asks her out on a date of her own. The series is a short-format romantic comedy that runs for six episodes.
