Onsha no Midare Tadashimasu: Affair-Ender Rei!

When a cheating individual begins having an affair it is  between them and their relations, however, if that case of infidelity creeps into the workplace and begins affecting work output and employee harmony, then it is time to put a stop to it, and that’s when the professionals are called!

Hirona Yamazaki stars as Rei Saesuga, a woman who enters the affected workplace under the guise of a mousey and bookish clerical staffer, investigates the situation and, once identifying the problem, acts!

It is here that the introverted lass transforms into a veritable femme fatale set to ingratiate herself into the infecting affair and, along with her partners Arata Kazuma (Hiroki Iijima) and Gan-chan (Kai Ogasawara), use their wit and wiles to extract the problematic cheaters  and get them to change their ways and repent!

Hirona Yamazaki is an interesting actress, one whom you look at and can’t quite decide if she’s a stunning beauty or not. Despite the fact that the first drama of note that I saw her in, the wildly zany and over-the-top Nanji No Na, she played a definite mankiller siren (set on torturing her sister Kie Kitano),

…it actually wasn’t until her small part on Grace No Rireki, as the unassuming daughter of a car mechanic, that I looked at her and thought, “Hey, ya know what…I'D take a spin with her!”

Onsha no Midare Tadashimasu has taken both elements of Hirona’s styles both the mousey and the vampishly sexy, and, while it certainly ain’t a reveal like Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality, it’s still cool to see her ‘transform” in each episode! Definitely one I’ll be watching with great interest!
