I watched the first episode. It's only 36 minutes without commercials, mainly just an introduction of characters. I am a bit confused as to what this is trying to be (didn't really understand the humour) ... can't say I'm interested. The cook didn't appear in the first episode I think. Igawa Haruka looked very glamourous while Suzuki Anne was probably the opposite (that hairstyle ). Watabe Atsuro only appeared in the last few minutes.

What's a freeter?

Or is that "fritter?"

There's an explanation on wiki.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeter

Freeter (フリーター, furītā?) (other spellings below) is a Japanese expression for people between the age of 15 and 34 who lack full time employment or are unemployed, excluding homemakers and students. They may also be described as underemployed or freelance workers. These people do not start a career after high school or university but instead usually live as parasite singles with their parents and earn some money with low skilled and low paid jobs. The low income makes it difficult for freeters to start a family, and the lack of qualifications makes it difficult to start a career at a later point in life.

Thanks for the info.

Sounds like it would've be more interesting if he were a fritter.
