Through most of her career, pretty actress Momoko Tanabe has been playing the more deceptive characters that turn out to be back-stabbing and unbalanced individuals, like in the recent “Yugure ni te Wo Tsunagu”, and, perhaps most famously, as Keiko Kitagawa’s adversary for Eita’s affections in “Rikokatsu”!
And now in her very FIRST lead starring role, Momoko gets a psycho stalker of her very OWN in the new drama “Iyashi no Otonari-san ni wa Himitsu ga aru!”
Momoko plays Fujiko Yomogida, a sincere but severely put-upon office worker, one of those whom everyone in the department takes advantage of, piling job after job onto her, all of which she meekly accepts.
This kind of treatment can really grind a girl down!
To make matter worse, Fujiko's been feeling like someone is following her when leaving work, and at home she hears strange bumps and noises , as if someone is lurking around the corners.
Just when it seems it has become too much for even her to handle, a beacon if light comes to her in the form of a new next door neighbor named Soma Nishina (Yuta Koseki), who introduces himself that night!
Unlike her Company superiors, Nishina is kind, supportive and understanding, and though they have just met, Fujiko finds she can relax around him and as they become closer, begins to see him as someone she can tell her problems to and relieve her pent up stress!
BUT....what she DOESN’T know is that this guy is hardly a stranger to her. Nishina is a STALKER of the highest degree and has been OBSESSIVELY spying on her for YEARS, following her every move and taking photos and videos of her, all of which cover his manic-obsessed apartment walls!!!
Just WHERE can a relationship like this go? And what are Nishina’s true intentions? I can hardly believe he’s actually as creepy as they make him out to be, simply for the fat that I find it hard to believe they’d write a rom-com around something so serious as a stalker following a young woman and infiltrating her life.? But I guess we’ll see!
Must say it's wonderful to see Momoko Tanabe finally getting a starring vehicle of her very own, even if it's a girl being put upon by a psycho! In any case, it’s hardly something that Momoko hasn’t had experience with, since SHE’S been the manic obsessed individual most times in the past! 
It alllllllll comes around, LOL!
