SYNPOPSIS
Sawada Michiko is a temporary employee at a trading company. She always brings a lunch box, but she often eats alone because her colleagues often go out for lunch.

Kurokawa Atsuko, also known as Akko, is the newly-appointed manager in Michiko's department. She asks Michiko to exchange lunches with her for one week; she'll eat Michiko's homemade lunch, and Michiko will go to the places where she usually goes for lunch.

Michiko reluctantly agrees to the arrangement because she doesn't think she can say no to her superior.



REVIEW
Lunch no Akko-chan is an interesting drama about a bumbling temporary worker who had no direction in life, and how a competent superior guided her to become a more capable employee.

I wonder why the drama went with it's title because Sawada Michiko only exchanged lunches with her superior Kurokawa Atsuko, also known as Akko, for around five days, and this arrangement was covered in just three episodes.
