Ogaswawara is a new boy at Ikematsu Boys School. At a drama performance, he mistakes the Juliet actress for a girl and falls in love. He joins the drama club which turns out to be on its last legs as it only consists of two somewhat unreliable members and a geeky club advisor who is obsessed with Idols. He manages to recruit two more members and the club survives. Then he falls in love again, this time with a beautiful girl, when they visit a girls’ school to see a drama, and their motivation soars to do well at the drama festival due to be held soon. On the day of the festival, however, they give a totally unexpected and unconventional performance.

Japanese Salaryman NEO

NEO Beer has always been ranked No. 5 in the beer industry, but by the order of the company president, they’re going to secure the No. 1 market share. The Sales Dept. keeps coming up with bizarre ideas such as “Zero Gravity beer”, but nothing quite hits the spot. In the meantime, an ad hoc proposal by a new recruit gets approved, and the story gets going in a big way. NHK started broadcasting “NEO-Office Chuckles” in 2004, which condensed the gist of Japanese office workers. The program was nominated for the Emmy awards in 2007 and 2008, and finally made into a movie to blast away the tiredness in Japan!
