When Koharu (Tao Tsuchiya) gets married to a wealthy doctor only a month after they first meet, it’s like something out of a fairytale — and she seems to have landed herself the wicked stepmother role.
The protagonist of Ryohei Watanabe’s “The Cinderella Addiction” is certainly ready to be swept off her feet when she first meets Daigo (Kei Tanaka). Koharu has just seen her grandfather hospitalized, nearly lost her home in a fire and caught her boyfriend in bed with her coworker, all in the space of a single night.
Sure, she has to rescue her Prince Charming after he collapses in a drunken stupor in front of an oncoming train, but first impressions aren’t everything, right?
