Description

At 28, Yoshimura Osamu faces despair: love lost, job gone, hope diminished, and youth fading. After spending his last money on a drink, he meets Honoka, a captivating woman from the pub, who offers him encouragement and her address, suggesting he visit if in trouble. She apparently manages an apartment complex, which Osamu, intrigued, decides to explore.

Arriving at 'Terrace House Hinosaka,' he discovers a dilapidated place, not the luxury he expected. He's greeted by Hinosaka Mitoko, a small but spirited girl revealed to be Honoka's daughter. With Honoka having eloped, Mitoko now runs the boarding house with its odd tenants.

Osamu, describing himself as tall and educated but jobless, starts living with Mitoko, challenging his view of himself and his circumstances. He navigates life with peculiar neighbors, rebuffs advances from a coworker, thwarts a rich neighbor's plots, and seeks the truth about Mitoko's enigmatic teacher.

Entwined with misfortune, Osamu's future is uncertain, leading to an unpredictable journey of growth and discovery.

Description

The heart of the story, who, at 28 years and 11 months, stands on the cusp of his thirtieth year. Osamu embodies the gentle soul, a blueprint for the underdog—someone who falls prey to deception and exploitation due to his timid nature and poor luck.

Osamu's propensity for scapegoatism, shouldering the burden of corporate malfeasance alone, ultimately leads to his dismissal. Left jobless, he finds refuge in the humble confines of Terrace House Hinosaka.

Despite being frequently dismissed as inept, Osamu reveals an uncanny fortitude in times of crisis, often stepping up to rescue others or salvage tumultuous situations.

Osamu's imposing stature makes him a standout, his head towering well above Mitoko's.
An avid enthusiast of Western cuisine, mainly Italian, he shows a significant aversion towards rice—to the point where the mere aroma induces nausea. These two points often rub Mitoko the wrong way, causing her to lash out at him from time to time...

Endearingly, he's known among his circle as "Laid-off" and "Young Master."

Description

Occupying a clerical position at the company where Osamu managed to secure his first job post-layoff, Kaya appears lazy at first glance, with her leisurely pace and seemingly absent enthusiasm.

Yet, beneath her languid exterior lies an unexpected nurturing side. This becomes evident when she takes in Osamu—left without a place to return after the company's collapse—and offers him a sanctuary in her apartment.

Once within her private quarters, her attire—a blend of casual comfort and provocative allure—often leaves Osamu in disarray, unsure where to rest his gaze.

She's commonly called "Number Two" for some reason...

Description

The energetic young girl lives uniquely in an old apartment building named "Terrace House Hinosaka". After her mother eloped with a man, Mitoko was thrust into the role of landlord, shouldering the responsibility of the building's upkeep.

Mitoko is a dynamo around the house, handling all chores with an unmatched proficiency. Her personality is as vibrant as her lifestyle; brisk, cheerful, and tirelessly hardworking. She moves with a certain sprightliness, reminiscent of a small, lively creature, always on the go.

Among her tenants and those around her, Mitoko is a beloved figure. They affectionately refer to her as "Landlady-chan", "Young Landlady-san", or "Toko-chan". Despite their fondness for her, they also see a more complex side to Mitoko.

Mitoko's known for her independent streak, often refusing assistance from others and trying to shoulder everything herself. Coupled with her serious nature, she can sometimes be inflexible and stubborn, often led astray by her assumptions.

Description

A radiant figure within the school who serves as Mitoko's homeroom teacher.
Her alluring charm has earned her the affection of both male and female students. Her professional demeanor paints a picture of a confident and competent woman, but away from the public eye, she has a surprising propensity for engaging in petty squabbles.

Despite her apparent successes, Asami leads a challenging personal life, most notably plagued by her unfortunate misadventures in the realm of romance.

Description

Meet Himeo, an esteemed university student hailing from the sophisticated mansion adjacent to Mitoko's apartment. As the scion of a prominent real estate tycoon, Himeo personifies the elegance and grace typically associated with a young lady of high social standing.

To Mitoko, Himeo is an aspirational figure—enthusiastic and ambitious. However, beneath this radiant facade, Himeo possesses a dual nature. Her demeanor shifts dramatically depending on her company, revealing an entirely different side in the presence of adversaries.

Himeo harbors a deep affection for Mitoko, often expressing concern for the young landlady—however, this shared concern kindles conflict between Himeo and Osamu, who equally cherish Mitoko.
