Other name: 吉祥寺ルーザーズ, Kichijoji Ruzazu

Description:

Kichijoji Losers introduces six individuals, each grappling with profound personal and professional setbacks, as they converge in a mysterious share house. Deemed "losers" by societal standards, these disparate lives intertwine when a high school teacher, whose smooth existence was shattered by a past incident, joins a chief editor finalizing a difficult divorce. Their new cohabitants include a retail employee with unfulfilled entertainment dreams, a woman who moved from Hakata now working at a hostess bar, and a diligent civil servant burdened by overwhelming gambling debt. Rounding out the group is a highly competent advertising professional who faced an unjust dismissal. As these unique personalities navigate shared living, they are compelled to confront their individual failures and the enigmatic circumstances that brought them together. This peculiar arrangement in the mysterious house challenges them to either succumb to their misfortunes or discover unexpected paths towards redemption, self-acceptance, and a hopeful new beginning.
