Synopsis
Two contrasting women, 32-year-old scriptwriter Ellie and 22-year-old rookie voice actress Wako, share a year as roommates.
Ellie Sakuma is a 32-year-old scriptwriter busy and hard at work, while Wako Inuzuka is a 22-year-old rookie voice actress struggling to get her career off the ground. The two women have known each other for roughly two years now, and despite their somewhat contrasting lifestyles, the roommates still manage to spend some time together everyday. Throughout the year they've now shared as roommates, Ellie and Wako enjoy any brief moments of each other's company in their otherwise hectic lives.
