Otto no Kanojyo (Otto no Kanojo / Husband’s Woman / 夫のカノジョ) (J-Drama)

In this world, there are many really strange things.

The story I'm going to tell now

happened to my family. It's an extremely strange tale.

Mama suspected Papa of having a girlfriend.

But that was a misunderstanding on Mama's part.

Let's begin while we eat our ice cream.

Papa was just helping a girl from his office, called Yamagishi Hoshimi-san,

study for the exam to become a regular full-time employee, but

Don't meet with my husband anymore.

Mama didn't notice her misunderstanding at all.

Suddenly, in front of the two of them, a strange old lady appeared.

Neither of you can see what's really important.

And somehow Mama and Hoshimi-san switched bodies.

The hell is this?! What is this?

After you two have properly overcome an obstacle

and the appropriate time comes, whether you want to or not, you will revert back.

In this way, Mama and Hoshimi-san

assumed each other's identity and life.

Yuki, you apologize too! You did something bad to Hamu-chan!

You didn't do anything, did you? Stop messing around!

Hating creatures that are weaker than you-- that's bullying!

You need to watch how you talk if you're going to lecture other people's children.

Let's go home.

Thanks, Mama.

As the leader of the pasta sauce division, aren't you ashamed?

I'm very sorry.

Serves you right. This is punishment for having an affair.

You boss isn't managing us in order to make pasta sauce,

he just WANTS to kill his sales, doesn't he?

I think you're mistaken. What?

Sugishita-san's work is that same as that of a housewife.

A housewife works very hard every day to cook something

that her family will say is delicious.

I want to see everyone say "it's delicious."

I want to see everyone's smiling faces.

Thanks, Yamagishi.

I didn't do it for Pa--

I didn't really do it for your sake, you know.

Ah... I raised Hoshimi-san's worth again.

What am I doing?

It doesn't really matter to me what happens to Papa, but...

Hoshimi.

It's been a long time.

Ah... yeah.

Who could this be?

Excuse me, but who are you again?

Right. So you're taking that attitude with me. Eh? No, I mean...

Excuse me.

Hello, Hoshimi-san, what's wrong?

I just got some news from the PTA.

What's this hiking custom?

It's a mountain climbing outing that the PTA parents and kids participate in.

Can I pretend I don't know about the info session? No, you can't.

When a mom skips out on those meetings, they start keeping an eye on her.

But I don't really mesh with those PTA people.

Komatsubara-san, there are such things as rules at school.

And if you don't abide by them, it will upset people. It won't do.

Just listen quietly to the coordinator.

It should be over in about an hour.

That's long. The meetings among the Mama-friends,

they also affects\ the children.

Don't get on Aikawa-san's bad side any more.

Ma'am, I want you to consider the hardships I'm going through over here.

I'm still only living up to about half of your level.

Why do I have to be told this stuff by Papa's mistress?

I have hardships too, everyday. I'm not used to being an OL.

Is it all right? It's fine.

Please go. As you wish.

Ah, she left. Huh?

Just now, a middle-aged lady talked to me.

She seemed rich.

That's probably my mother.

Huh? Didn't you say that you didn't have parents?

You don't need to talk to her. Eh?

Because if you go blabbing away, we might be found out and not be able to go back.

That's true.

Mama, good night. Yep, 'night.

Ah, Masato Masato Masato.

It's the lady from yesterday.

Should I talk to her? Yeah.

Hello? Hello, Masato-kun, have you been well?

Yeah, although I just saw you yesterday.

Ah, that's true. But I'm glad you're doing well.

Are you brushing your teeth? Yeah. Well, talk to you later, bye-bye.

Ah-ah, ahh...

Talk to you later.

Yes.

Mama, I'm going now. Be safe!

Wah~

What the--

What if someone finds you there?

You wouldn't understand, you're not a mom. Huh? I'm doing pretty well.

Yes, you're right

Ok. Get outta here!

Have a good day! I'm off now.

Ah, good morning.

Good morning. Morning.

Ah, good morning. Morning.

Why are you out of breath? Ah, I just ran here.

Morning. Good morning.

Morning, Yamagishi, hey, the development department

is buzzing about the pasta sauce! Oh-oh really?

'Cause Yamagishi looks at the products through a housewife's eyes.

It was really unexpected.

Did you read housewives' magazines?

You did your research, huh? Sort of.

There's something different about you, Yamagishi.

Uh, I don't really think so.

Yamagishi.

Good morning. Morning.

Oi, about last week's issue,

I'm just gonna rely on you now!

Everyone, I look forward to working with you about this matter.

Komatsubara-san seems different lately, doesn't she?

Well now, I don't think it's anything we need to

punish her for, it's just

that we need to make her understand that she needs to follow the communal rules.

Shit, shit!

Sorry I'm late again.

Well, now that everyone is here, shall we begin?

Before we finalize the list of hiking participants,

our coordinator, Takahashi-san, has been hospitalized, so

we will need to elect a new person.

Who should undertake this?

I think it should be Komatsubara.

Huh--me?

How about someone else?

I also think Komatsubara-san would be suitable. Me too.

Me too. Me too.

Don't you think?

Komatsubara-san, how about it?

Whaddaya mean, "how about it"? Are you kidding--

You've become very assertive lately, so

we would all like you to do it. Right, everyone?

Komatsubara-san, will you take on this responsibility?

The relationships between the moms also affect the children.

Don't make an enemy of Aikawa-san any more.

Mm... fine. I guess I can do it.

Thank goodness.

We'll leave it to you.

Thank goodness~

What are you thinking?

Ah, I'm sorry.

Do you realize how serious a thing it is to coordinate the hiking trip?

Why did you just take it on like that? Well, you said

not to go against that person.

But please stop taking things on so lightly.

First of all, I did it last year.

What the hell?

Then I'll just turn them down saying I did it before.

Hang on, hang on.

You can't have another argument with them, so don't try to change anything now.

Let's discuss this later. Roger.

Then I'll head over there around 5. You'll have meal prep to do!

I'll go over there. Ok, fiiiiine~

What the hell? Jeez.

This year is was supposed to have been Takahashi-san who coordinated.

But she's been hospitalized.

This is Aikawa-san's scheme. Eh?

Aikawa-san holds a grudge against you over the Hamu-chan incident, Hoshimi-san.

How could you speak like that?

If you're going to preach to someone else's child, you would do well to fix your phrasing.

Why did it have to be Aikawa-san, of all people?

Were you watching?

Well, I was worried.

Anyway, this is certainly payback for that time.

She wants to upset me.

Aren't you overthinking it?

If you're the coordinator once, you don't do it again.

And everyone knows that I did it just last year.

And the coordinator has another person who acts as support.

I haven't heard anything about that. You see?

That old bitch fights dirty.

Let's strike back and just flat out refuse to do it.

If you were to do that, Masato might get bullied in class.

At this point, there's nothing you can do but take on the responsibility.

Then what do I do?

For Masato's sake, let's work together and muddle through.

Work together?

I'll follow you the day of the trip. That's good!

I'll lend support in a way that won't be conspicuous to the others.

Let's complete the preparations perfectly and make the hiking trip a huge success!

Let's do it so perfectly that no one can raise a single complaint.

Ahh... What's the bus company we always use?

Listen up, everyone. It's been decided that

we will have a booth at the Italian fair this weekend at West Mall.

Really? Yeah.

And serving as publicity, will be a famous chef cooking for us,

using our products.

We'll be able to gauge the customers' reactions immediately, so I'm counting on all of you.

That sounds interesting! There will be a lot of people there!

Awesome! It will be full of children and adults alike.

Chief, would it be possible to allow Yamagishi-san to participate as well?

Huh? Ah, that's right.

We definitely have to let Yamagishi take part as well.

Ah, no, I--

Don't be so modest.

I don't know if you can come up with a new idea like that again, though.

Everyone, I'm counting on you.

Yes sir.
