Highlights of the Work ### 1. Produced by Noda Crystal! A 'quirky romantic comedy conversational drama' woven by starring actors Nagisa Shibuya and Aoki Macho

The setting is a strange gym with an owner who loves cosplay (Noda Crystal), a trainer who has never worked out (Aoki Macho), and pigs walking around. Manami (Nagisa Shibuya) arrives there, and although she and Macho are constantly out of sync, a strange human relationship forms where they somehow connect on a deeper level. While vertical short dramas are usually a continuous barrage of incidents, this drama is weird, so no major incidents occur. Delivering a new genre that sets itself apart from previous short dramas! We bring you a 'quirky romantic comedy'!

### 2. Seven Cosplay Changes by Owner Noda Crystal! Look out for the weird cosplay of the cosplay-loving owner, including a military commander, a bandman, a pirate, a baseball manager, a professor, a Lolita, Rambo, Hakama, and more!
