Story
A very bizarre incident happens to the Komatsubara family. Furthermore, it all arose because of the wife’s misunderstanding … … Yamagishi Hoshimi is a temporary employee at Daitoa Mill’s Sales Department. She is watched over by her boss Komatsubara Mugitaro, the head of the department, and fellow colleague Ishiguro Yasuhiro as she works “with wild abandon”. One day, when Mugitaro leaves the office after finishing work, a woman dressed in black stealthily starts to tail him. She is Mugitaro’s wife, Hishiko. Mugitaro and Hishiko have been married for 15 years and have two children. Hishiko had thought that she has a happy family, but she suspects Mugitaro of having an affair because of his recent behaviour. She follows him to some apartment where he rings the doorbell with a practiced hand. A young lady appears at the opened door. The mind of Hishiko is instantly filled with images of a family breakup. In fact, Mugitaro and Yasushi are only watching Hoshimi study for the exam to become a full-time employee. However, Hishiko does not know about this and calls Hoshimi out in order to protect her family. Under the impression that Hoshimi is the other woman, Hishiko negotiates in person for her to leave Mugitaro. But Hoshimi remains impassive no matter what she says and she cannot help but feel humiliated and defeated. In the midst of this, an old woman suddenly appears between Hishiko and Hoshimi. When the old woman cries out in a thundering voice, the two of them fall unconscious. Once Hishiko and Hoshimi wake up, they realise that they have unexpectedly swopped bodies! Mugitaro starts to feel suspicious about the changes in his wife. On the other hand, Hishiko is supported and charmed by Hoshimi who is inside her.
