■Episode 1 synopsis
Tendo Subaru (Ren Nagase) is the heir of the huge apparel manufacturer Fukuten, whose total assets are said to be 300 billion yen. He lost his parents at an early age and was spoiled by his grandfather and chairman, Wataru Tendo (Takeshi Kaga). He has an outstanding appearance and is a true monk, but on the other hand, his personality is full of flaws and he is extremely vain. Tomoya Kusakabe (Daigo Nishihata), the only person who understands Subaru and his best friend, has started two businesses with Wataru’s large investments, but both have failed. With no business plan or management strategy in place, he closed down his third company, which was ridiculed by those around him as a “plaything,” and Wataru finally gave him the reins. He joined Fukuten through connections and became the number one working adult. He is ordered to start over from the beginning.

On his first day at work, Subaru is dressed in his usual high-brand casual clothes and attends a new employee training session, still feeling like a celebrity. Subaru can’t stop feeling self-conscious, thinking that it’s his beautiful appearance that attracts all the attention of the employees, but then Madoka Hanakura (Mizuki Yamashita), an instructor, approaches him. He then dismisses Subaru’s lack of understanding of TPO as “uncool.” After experiencing humiliation, Subaru is made to change into a suit made by his company, and becomes irritated, thinking that he has never been scolded by a teacher before…

That night, on Wataru’s orders, Subaru moves into an old apartment in the company dormitory and struggles to live as a commoner for the first time in his life. As I was listening to loud music to distract myself, the person living in the next room started yelling at me. It was Madoka who warned her during the day.
