Chubby Girlfriend ＆ Pity Boyfriend(2024)

Chubby Girlfriend & Pity Boyfriend is a romantic comedy series following Mariko, a plus-sized nurse who has resigned herself to a life without romance. When a senior colleague drags her to a group blind date, Mariko unexpectedly catches the attention of a handsome man—and suddenly finds herself in demand. With zero dating experience and a lifetime of assumptions about her own desirability, Mariko must navigate the bewildering world of romance and relationships. The series explores themes of self-worth, unexpected connection, and the gap between how we see ourselves and how others perceive us. As Mariko's romantic prospects multiply, she discovers that confidence and genuine connection matter far more than fitting conventional beauty standards.
