It's this live action drama on Netflix about this super awkward Japanese novelist who lives in a house with five bizarre women that all showed up randomly one day. It sounds like the set-up to some lame harem anime but it's mostly a weird slice-of-life kind of thing, but the story starts getting weirder when he actually publishes his novel.

The "villains" are a shitbag novel critic and a young novelist who sort of reminds me of Akechi from Persona 5, in the sense that everyone besides the mc and supporting characters loves him and he's an insufferable prick.

Also it gives us this hilariously awkward scene in Episode 3:

0ofh3yq

But really the whole show is pretty cool so far (at episode 6 or 7) and you all should watch it.

Oh, so it's based on a manga.

Suddenly, so much of the story's pacing and tropes makes sense. >_>

They've been doing live action series and movies of manga for ages now.

Some even have multiple live action series in different countries (e.g. Hana Yori Dango).

I guess, but it's far more focused on the characters' growth as people, understanding emotions in the wake of tragedy, and the unraveling of the mysteries behind his living situation. The MC is an awkward dweeb, but the circumstances that lead to that and how he moves on are interesting.

Show gets surprisingly dark.

If you think simply being a non-weeb means you can't be a pathetic excuse for a human being then you can enjoy your bubble with ISIS and redneck mass shooters.

It did seem kind of strange to me. But I interpreted it as character development for the other writer. Rather than "putting words to the thoughts of the people", he was going to find a "new logic", and his novel would be themed as "breaking free". (This comes shortly after Shin had taken pride in writing something he couldn't understand).

It also works, I think, as a pseudo-thesis for Shin's character arc, where his thoughts and way of life had been largely tied to his family history, he decided to do things the way he wanted, uninhibited by fear or guilt.
