Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Madoka Tsutsumi (Sota Fukushi) is a university student. He rarely expresses his feelings and he has never done an impulsive act in his life. One night, he sees an old man and a pink rabbit struggling physically. The pink rabbit seems surprised and asks Madoka if he can see them. The pink rabbit then introduces itself as the Angel of Death and says the old man is a ghost who died yesterday.

Madoka, who begins to see things that he isn't supposed to see, gets involved with the Angel of Death Nabeshima and Angel of Death colleague Yuzuko. Madoka works to solve dead people's regrets and let them go in peace. With senior Sachi Aguma (Tao Tsuchiya), Madoka lets the spirits of dead people posses his body and solve their regrets.

popo Oct 04 2021 9:15 am Overall, this drama is actually fun! But character wise, I felt like Tao stole the show for me, she's the main main character. Sota didn't really show anything special and was his usual stoic self (although that did help his awkward character i guess). Mugi once again played a quiet but occasionally fun character like she always does. However, Tao, Suzuki, and Kokone were really fun and unique characters to look forward to. Tao feels natural with the attitude she gave as Aguma and had a good chemistry with everyone.

Shiraiishi Nov 08 2016 12:42 pm I just can't believe that Tao-chan, Sota and the Tanaka Kei(the man from the last episode that wants to marry & got caught by the police) are reunited together in this drama hahaha~ they met in a movie called Library Wars and actually in that movie, Tao-chan fell in love with Tanaka Kei and not Sota haha

what do they think of each other in this drama after that movie :D

Fizerman Oct 20 2016 7:51 am I rate this as 3/5 Kind of good. In the end I think the plot built nicely. The chemistry between Sota and Tao and is okay.

kuro Sep 10 2016 6:54 am I like this dorama.. i feel like acting from tao tsuchiya and sota fukushi...keep spiritt XD

ppppkkkkk Sep 08 2016 12:41 pm amazing Tao <3

hannasj Jul 16 2016 12:59 pm I would give this series thumbs up for its interesting story line. As the main lead, well Sota's acting definitely improved and I think this kind of awkward loner suit him more rather than outgoing one. Tao...well she is a hit and miss actress for me. but I think that also depends on her character. lets just say her acting here is not that recommendable especially when you put her next to Mugi Kadowaki which makes her acting capability seems more off than usual. The chemistry. well I can't believe i would say this but Sota-Mugi have more palpable silence chemistry than him with Tao which seem forced. it caught me by surprise how i like Mugi over here cause I always avoid her work and not fond of her personally because of the daring project she chose before. By the end of the series I ship Madoka with Aguma more than Sachi.

crystalysia Jul 05 2016 7:02 am okay, in responds to my comment below, I finally give this drama a try and I'm satisfied!!! Fukushi definitely go far in improving his acting! he is dork till the end and such a cutie LOL He even made me believe that he indeed possesed by ghosts.. :) and this drama also made me love Tsuchiya Tao since my first impression on her in movie "Orange" wasn't that good.. she definitely suits ballsy girl character more.. Fukushi and Tsuchiya chemistry is very good..

Sergio Moreno Jun 30 2016 9:25 pm IT WAS AN AMAZING SHOW!!!!!! IT WAS SAD, EMOTIONAL, BREATHTAKING, AND OUTSTANDING!!!!!! Sota Fukushi and Tao Tsuchiya DID AN AMAZING JOB!!!!!! The other actors and actresses; including the guest stars did an Outstanding job as well. Congrats 2 the creators, actors, actresses, staff, crew, and to the rest of the people who made this show. I loved it a lot

F Jun 24 2016 12:42 am I give a nice rating since this dorama can move me with tears at the baseball & old sensei in university episodes. For romance, I don't think the 2 main leads can grow love interest in short moment like that. It seems everyone forced them to love each other by saying, you actually love that girl/boy. But this has balance amount of comedy and sad story so it's good to spend time with this dorama.

Crystalysia Jun 16 2016 11:47 am Edit : Not charming at all

Crystalysia Jun 16 2016 11:45 am I wonder why Fukushi always get male lead role when he is so bad at acting.. he is stoic.. he may be handsome but surprisingly charming at all.. but I will give this drama a try for tsuchiya tao

catt Jun 13 2016 1:39 am I can't believe this manga get live action!! XD I ship madoka-aguma so hard. I hope this will be much more romantic than the manga.

kwon May 18 2016 11:31 am Does anyone knows how many episodes it would be? 10 perhaps? /sighs/ The live-action is so interesting and frustrating at the same time. :3 HAHAHAHA. Hoping for more awesome eps.

arie May 02 2016 5:26 am Yeah im having fun watching drama tw young actors are the best now♥♥♥

Kissme Mar 28 2016 10:11 am Sota Fukushi is the best I like him

Uruta Feb 19 2016 11:27 pm Waa Omukae Desu, one of my favorite manga, can't wait to see it ^.^/
