Yoshizawa Miku is a busy member of the variety team at the local TV station "P-Tele". She has been submitting proposals, hoping to be transferred to the drama team someday. One day, she is called by the head of the programming department and told that her drama proposal has been approved. Her joy is fleeting, as the head asks Mirai, "Can't we make the main character of this project a disabled person?" As part of the station's "Diversity Month" campaign, they need a drama with diverse characters. Despite Mirai's confusion, the project moves forward under the condition that "an actor with a disability will be used." Despite her worries, Mirai continues her research, determined to make the project happen. Eventually, she meets Miyajima Haru, a high school student in a wheelchair. Mirai is mysteriously attracted to Haru, who aspires to be an actress. She offers her a role in a drama, but Haru refuses, saying, "I don't want my disability to be exploited."

Reviews
Another thing I appreciated here was the cast performance, pretty damn good, kudos to them, particularly to Ito Marika and Wago Yui who get a special mention!
The OST and the rest of the "packaging" (direction, photography, editing) were also totally OK.
On the other hand, I wasn't fully convinced by the script; I think they had good intentions but the terribly short length of the series (only 4 episodes!) meant they ended up cutting corners here and there and either left details hanging (like, what happened to the producer FL and her BF? Did they get back together?) or else failed at portraying a smooth character development (like, the director was portrayed as an A-hole until *bang*, complete U-turn in one single scene - that's sloppy writing, sorry...>___<).
Still, a solid 8/10.
