Sum it up in a Sentence

Guy meets girl and they grow a bit.

Main Description

Fumihiko Matsumaru is an average salaryman with no girlfriend. He invited his colleague Miss Tanaka to a movie but was stood up. Right at the time he was about to toss tickets into a trash can, a cute girl appeared and asked him not to waste those two tickets. After movie and dinner, he escorted her home and found they live in the same neighborhood, yet unfortunately her apartment caught on fire hours later. Having nowhere else to stay, rookie seiyuu Aka Onda moved to Matsumaru's place, and the two had started a "more than friend but not yet lovers" relationship under the same roof while keeping this secret from their employers.

Personal Opinions

helopticor

While it does benefit from a lack of anime shyness, there are enough clichés (and fanservice IIRC) that you should probably be watching some other romance show.

Keyboard Kid

Well this was a show. It's not the usual SHAFT fare if that's what you're interested in. The series had a decent start, but really fell down a steep slope to being overwhelmingly mediocre, unmemorable, and losing any charm it had. The characters are pretty bad, the plot is uninteresting, the production quality is low, and it (as mentioned above) is cliche as fuck. Go watch something else.
