Other name: 正直不動産, しょうじきふどうさん, Shojiki Fudosan, Honest Real Estate

Description:

"Shoujiki Fudousan" centers on Nagase Saichi, a highly successful real estate salesperson whose career takes an unexpected and dramatic turn. Once the number one at his agency, Nagase suddenly finds himself afflicted with an inability to lie. This profound honesty transforms his biggest asset—persuasion—into his greatest liability in a competitive industry where discretion and sugarcoating are often key.

Now forced to reveal every unvarnished truth and flaw about properties to potential buyers, Nagase's sales figures plummet, jeopardizing his top position and future at the agency. His junior, Tsukishita Sakura, observes his struggles as he navigates this challenging new reality. Nagase must contend with the humorous, awkward, and often difficult consequences of his radical transparency. The film explores whether absolute honesty can truly thrive in the cutthroat world of property sales, or if it ultimately proves to be a fatal flaw for a salesperson.
