Renai Hensachi - Kanojo no Kiraina Kanojo (2002)

This is the strange story about two women who work in the Marunouchi business district in Tokyo: a 34-year-old "old miss" and a 22-year-old who is just waiting for a marriage partner to come along. Although friends, the two eventually battle it out over one man. The 34-year-old Tamako is considered an "old miss" at work. She's fairly attractive, good at her job, and has her own ideas about fashion and how she should lead her life. In other words, Tamako is a good-looking "adult" woman. So why is she still single? At work, the new female recruits come in year after year, but all they've got going for them is good looks because there's certainly nothing on the inside. Tamako forgets that she was once the same way, so she gets upset at the likes of them. Even so, she doesn't want to quit working. After all, she has to support herself. It's not like Tamako doesn't have a boyfriend, though...actually, she's having an affair. Her lover's name is Shiro, and he's 3 years older than her. She realizes that there isn't much in store for the future, but for now, it's the best thing going. Is this the kind of love life that I was looking for? Is this how I wanted to spend my life at 34? Tamako is discontent and has all kinds of reservations about herself. Chie is a 22-year-old "office lady." She's just like the other girls who are waiting for "Prince Charming" to come along. More than work, Chie is always busy worried about "Mr. Right." She wants to get out of the company and into a marriage! She's rather attractive and has a charming personality, but more than anything, she's young!! She wants a good-looking man! Unfortunately, though, she hasn't found one at work yet. "It isn't supposed to be like this..." Inside the office, she paints the image that she wouldn't harm a flea, but when she's in the kitchen at work, all she does is talk bad about her older co-workers. "I don't want to wind up like them." While waiting for her "Prince Charming," Chie is stuck with an aspiring actor; a poor one at that. Tsukasa may be poor, but he's got big dreams. Although she didn't want things to be this way, she's stuck on Tsukasa's "sex appeal." One day, an elite, yet handsome guy arrives from New York! His name is Saeki, and he was "scouted" by the company to work for them in Tokyo. Both Tamako and Chie vow the same thing, "I'm going to make him my man, and get out of this company!" But...while fighting over Saeki, Tamako isn't able to break things off with Shiro. The same is true for Chie. "Ideals" and "reality," "aspirations" and "stability" are what these two are stuck between. (Source: wiki.d-addicts) Edit Translation
