He passes the interview and is hired to become “just a bit of an Esper”: granted a small psychic ability to help save the world — but under one bizarre rule: he must not fall in love with anyone. When Bunta moves into company-provided housing, he finds a woman he’s never met claiming he is her husband. Strange rules, questionable missions, and emotional complications begin immediately. Episode 1 establishes Bunta’s fall to rock bottom, his recruitment by NONAMARE, the surreal living arrangement, the company’s odd briefings, and the first hint that “saving the world” will be anything but ordinary. This blend of workplace drama, speculative-supernatural elements, and romantic tension sets the tone for a quirky sci-fi romance exploring loneliness, responsibility, and what it means to build connection while balancing duty and desire. br br Main cast & principal credits: br br Yo Oizumi (大泉洋) — lead (Bunta). br br Aoi Miyazaki (宮崎あおい) — female lead; the woman in the company housing. br br Dean Fujioka (ディーン・フジオカ) — supporting role. br japan-programcatalog.com br br Takumi Kitamura (北村匠海), Masaki Okada (岡田将生), Shohei Uno (宇野祥平), Atsuko Takahata (高畑淳子) — additional cast. br Creative team & production: br Writer: Akiko Nogi. br br Directors: Yoshiaki Murao, Daiden Yamauchi (listed on production pages). br br Production Network: TV Asahi (production listing).
