Not Quite Dead Yet
Angst-ridden college student, Nanase Nobata (Suzu Hirose), lives with her father, Hakaru, president of the Nobata Pharmaceutical Company, resentful of his constant nagging about her life, and for being so absorbed in his work. While developing a revolutionary "reverse aging" drug, Hakaru's team discovered a drug that causes temporary death, followed by full recovery in 2 days. Hakaru had been persuaded to take the drug in an attempt to expose a corporate spy planted in his company by a rival firm looking to merge with Nobata and capitalize on the anti-aging formula. When Hakaru drops dead, it sets the company in an uproar as his will names Nanase as the new president. She soon learns the truth about her father's condition and the spy from Matsuoka (Ryo Yoshizawa), a young employee in the company. Together with Matsuoka and the actual ghost of Hakaru, Nanase endeavors to prevent her father's enemies from prematurely cremating his body before the drug can wear off and allow him to revive.
