"Fuurai Cloud" is a period drama based on the manga of the same name by George Akiyama. The setting is Shinagawa-shuku at the end of the Edo period. "Fuurai Cloud" is an eccentric man who wears a woman's kimono and has his hair tied in front of his forehead. With a fluffy and elusive appearance, he lives his days freely, but before you know it, he gently changes the destinies of others. It is a hymn to humanity filled with laughter and tears.
In the sixth episode, which will be broadcast for the first time in a month, the proprietress, Orin (Noriko Nakagoshi), who is being stalked by an ex-boyfriend, asks Kumosuke/Sadahachi (Tomoya Maeno), who works at Yumeya, to pretend to be her husband.

The story unfolds as Shunju Boss (Rokuhei Naomasa), who has just become a detective, suspects that Kumezo is the culprit behind a series of street murders...
