Plot

edit

20-year-old Michiru arrives in Tokyo where she will start a new job and big-city lifestyle, moving into Stella House Haruno, a women-only share house. The three other young women there — Kae, Makoto and Nao — welcome her warmly, and as they live their lives they experience a variety of Japanese alcoholic drinks, one featured per episode.

Characters

edit
Michiru Amatsuki (天月 みちる, Amatsuki Michiru)
Voiced by: Ayaka Imamura[3] (Japanese); Juliet Simmons[4] (English)
A woman who moves from the smaller city of Okayama to experience the fashionable Tokyo lifestyle. She is always cheerful, eager to learn and work. She is still discovering alcohol.
Nao Kiriyama (桐山 直, Kiriyama Nao)
Voiced by: Chika Anzai[3] (Japanese); Christina Kelly[4] (English)

Kae Midorikawa (緑川 香枝, Midorikawa Kae)
Voiced by: Mikako Komatsu[3] (Japanese); Kara Greenberg[4] (English)
A wedding planner, whose occupation is in sharp contrast to her personal lack of success with men.

Her favorite drink is wine.
Makoto Kiriyama (桐山 真, Kiriyama Makoto)
Voiced by: Maaya Uchida[3] (Japanese); Kira Vincent-Davis[4] (English)
A university student and Nao's younger sister. In contrast to her sister she is calm and reasoned. She prefers sweet cocktails.
