Hotaru no Hikari - It's Only Little Light in My Life (Japanese)
ホタルノヒカリ―IT’S★ONLY★LITTLE★LIGHT★IN★MY★LIFE (Japanese)
Plot Summary: Hotaru is a 27-year-old office lady who'd rather sleep at home than seek romance. Now, due to unforeseen circumstances, her boss Takano disrupts her life when he is suddenly living with her. To add to this frustration, she is beginning a new relationship with the younger Makoto. Being a dried fish forcibly thrown back into the ocean, she must learn to swim again and re-discover the ways of romance (by Aerandria).
