The drama is an original love story written by Yumiko Inoue, known for her work on "Hirugao: Love Affairs in the Afternoon" (Fuji TV). Kimura plays Ogawa Manami, a serious high school teacher, and Raul plays Kaoru, a host who is bad at reading and writing.
"There's something I want to ask you. I can't talk to you on the phone," Kaworu says, calling out to Aimi. As he waits at the place where Aimi had taught him kanji, Aimi arrives.
Kaworu teased Aimi, saying, "No way, you shouldn't accept a host's invitation and come here at this time of night," as he offered her a drink.
Kaworu says that being a host is his calling, but when he was little he wanted to be a train driver. When Manami asked, "You didn't try to become one?" he blurted out, "I couldn't. You know that, teacher. I can't even write my own name. I couldn't even get a driver's license, let alone drive a train."
"But you were able to write it when you practiced the other day! That's right, let's review it now!" Manami invites him. Kaworu is reluctant and says, "Sure," so Manami asks, "Do you not want to?" Kaworu says, "I don't mind, but..." and begins writing his full name, "Takamori Taiga," in kanji on the notebook Manami hands him.
"I did it." Seeing Kaworu looking embarrassed, Aimi exclaimed, "You're writing better than before! Maybe you've been practicing." Aimi offered, "You can still make time from now. Can we make time like this sometimes? I'll teach you." Kaworu turned up the corners of his mouth and said, "Private lessons? That's a bit naughty."
On social media, comments such as, "Kaworu's expression after he writes Takamori Taiga! I can't wait for Manami-sensei's reaction! So cute," "Kaworu can't wait to show us Takamori Taiga, he's so honest and adorable," "Kaworu not completely opposed to the private lessons really hit home. At least for those hours, he should be his real self," "Kaworu on the roof is a place where he can become Taiga! I can't wait to see what happens in the private lessons from now on!", "The two of them look so happy and laughing during their private lessons on the roof, it's so cute," and "The atmosphere between the two of them during the private lessons on the roof is great."
