Hotaru no Hikari: It's Only a Little Light in My Life — Season 1, Episode 5: The Dried Fish Woman Finally Confesses! The God of Love Has Descended Upon Her

Episode synopsis

After being locked in a room with Teshima by the god of love (or was that the manager or perhaps a salesperson?) Hotaru finally drums up the courage to profess her true feelings to him. Her rival has not given up, but she has taken an important step and is determined not to be a himono-onna 'dried fish woman' for much longer. The manager, however, seems to have lost his wife for good.

About Hotaru no Hikari: It's Only a Little Light in My Life

Hotaru works for a famous interior design company. It's a glamorous job, but Hotaru's private life is totally the opposite of glamorous. She lives alone, and when she isn't working, she's mostly lazing about her rented house in training wear. She's really not interested in doing anything, much less dating. "I'd rather lay around than fool around," is her motto. One day her landlord's son comes to inspect the rental property, not knowing that someone is living there. He is shocked at the mess, but not as shocked as Hotaru, as he turn's out to be her fastidious boss, Takano.
