From 5-9


5-ji Kara 9-ji Made: Watashi ni Koi Shita Obōsan

5→9〜私に恋したお坊さん〜?, English title "From Five to Nine"

Sakuraba Junko (Satomi Ishihara), an English language school teacher, is a 28 year-old with dreams of working in New York. One day, she causes an embarrassing accident when she encounters a handsome Buddhist priest during a funeral service at a temple. Hoping never to meet him again, she is later deceived by her family and made to go for a matchmaking session. The other party is none other than that priest, Hoshikawa Takane (Tomohisa Yamashita).

OAL: It was Cute and it has Domoji's Mom (or Ao's Grandma) as the the mean Grandma [Mariko Kaga]. All the "Almosts" might drive you crazy but the chemistry feels real.
