Takamatsu Construction Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, President: Takamatsu Takatoshi, hereinafter referred to as "the Company") has released the original vertical short drama "This Story is Semi-Fictional." This work expresses the Company's core value of "connections between people" in the form of a "vertical short drama" tailored to modern viewing styles. Designed for smartphone viewing, this work consists of 5 episodes that can be easily enjoyed during commutes or short breaks.

Furthermore, as Nakamatsu encounters the inexplicable words and actions of her unique senior colleagues, her values gradually begin to change. Through these depictions where reality and unreality intersect, "connections between people" are impressively highlighted. [Story] "My senior colleagues at this company are a bit strange." Nakamatsu, who has just joined the company, spends
