There is a small old-fashioned shop called ‘Fuji Family’ at the foot of
Mt Fuji that is a convenience store in name only. It is run by three
sisters who are known for their beauty. Dependable Oguni Takako
(Yakushimaru Hiroko) is the eldest sister, free-spirited Nasumi (Koizumi
Kyoko), the second sister, is the complete opposite of Takako in both
personality and lifestyle, and tactful Tsukimi (Mimura) is the youngest
sister. Although Nasumi lived and got
married in Tokyo, she abruptly came back with her husband Kinoshita
Hideo (Yoshioka Hidetaka), but died suddenly of illness eight years ago.
Takako finally wed Haruta Masao (Takahashi Katsumi), with whom she has
had an enduring but difficult relationship, this year. The newlyweds now
live in an apartment nearby but Takako constantly comes to ‘Fuji
Family’. Hideo had a shotgun marriage with Aiko (Naka Riisa) but he
still lives with the Ogunis and runs the shop. A new part-timer Purio
(Higashide Masahiro), whose actual name is Kuromatsu Heizo, has joined
‘Fuji Family’. And Nasumi appears as a ghost to grandaunt Shoko
(Katagiri Hairi) who is the only one who can see her. One day towards
the end of the year, Takako sees a magazine article about the famous
soothsayer Kitty Toyama (YOU) and realises that she was her junior high
school classmate. Kitty had made an outrageous prediction concerning
Takako’s fate in her junior high school diary. With the addition of a
new ghost Tesshin (Hada Keisuke) and Shoko’s friend Tokuzo (Kaga
Takeshi), disturbance erupts in the lives of every member of the family.
