Atashinchi no Danshi is a recently concluded Japanese series that stars Maki Horikita. It is about Chisato, a homeless girl hiding from her father’s debt collectors. But even with all the grim and dirt on her face and clothes, she’s still beautiful.
The series becomes more interesting when Chisato met Shinzo and asked her to marry him and be the mother to his six adopted sons. In exchange, her debt will be paid off. This is no easy task especially when the six have their own problems to begin with. On top of that, she must fulfill ten mothering goals as stated in the contract she signed before their supposed marriage.
Playing the six sons are Jun Kaname (Fuu), Yoshinori Okada (Takeru), Osamu Mukai (Sho), Yusuke Yamamoto (Masaru), Koji Seto (Satoru) and Tomoki Okayama (Akira). It is amusing how they interact with each other and with their young stepmother as they live together at the Trick Heart Castle. As the series progress, their views on family change and unite them against evil glasses guy’s plans.
Atashinchi no Danshi has eleven fun-filled and interesting episodes. It has comedy, drama and a little bit of romance. Chisato and Sho are cute and wish to see more of their pairing in the future. The supporting cast delivers comic relief each week. This makes the series light and fun to watch with the whole family. Inoue reminded me of Richie Rich’s maid Irona.
The plot might seem to be complex at first but everything is explained along the way. Waiting a week for each episode was worth it. And like what I’ve said before, Maki Horikita is turning out to be a good actress.
If you don’t want to be spoiled, STOP READING. The ending was left wide open for a second season or a special in the future. They found the Okura family treasure but they chose to be a family instead, just as what Shinzo has planned right from the start. It was also revealed that Shinzo has two real heirs and Fuu is one of them. The other one is not a son. *wink*
