Musume no Tomodachi Synopsis

Kosuke lived by interpreting his “ideal self” as a father at home and a manager at work. However, his life turns 180 degrees when he meets his daughter’s boyfriend. In front of her Kosuke could show his true personality and his exhausted heart finally knew peace.

He knows, however, that these are feelings that should never be sustained, let alone revealed. So begins the story of an older man who meets a younger girl who now has to hide her love from modern society. Then what will fate mean for Kosuke, since he is an older man with a full life? Will he fall into the fruit of temptation?
