Zettai Kareshi 『絶対彼氏』
It’s rare to find a dorama that I really really like, along the lines of Nodame Cantabile and Hanazakari no Kimitach e. The recently wrapped series, Zettai Kareshi 『絶対彼氏』 on Fuji TV, however, is one of them.
Tenjou Night at your service. The ad for Zettai Kareshi.
The story revolves around the wretched love-life of Izawa Riiko, a temp staff in the Production Department of Asamoto, a large-scale bakery franchise. After a series of failed relationships that were doomed from the start due to her “serious” demeanour (this is by Japanese standards), Riiko is invited by a scientist from Kronos Heaven to his lab in order to “change the course of her life”. Naturally, like any girl Riiko presumes it has something to do with matchmaking and gave in, entering her preferences for her “ideal boyfriend” into the Kronos Heaven system.
The last thing she expects is a completely life-like robot delivered to her doorstep in the form of the Kronos Heaven Nightly-Series #01. The rest, as they say, is history.
Major spoilers after the jump.
