===Review===
 +
The format of the story has hardly changed:
 +
 +
1. Shomuni employees do something for their own interests
 +
2. Company runs into trouble
 +
3. Shomuni employees save the company inadvertently
 +
4. Shomuni employees find out that they did not get what they originally set out to do.
 +
 +
This time, though, the storylines have gotten tired, and Shomuni fans must have obtained a feeling that the entire ordeal of "Shomuni" should finally come to an end. There are recycled plotlines and too-similar plot-twists in two of the episodes, and one can almost guess the ending from the start of the show.
 +
 +
Worse, Himukai Rie, the part-time fortune teller, is given a very disappointingly peripheral role compared to the first two episodes, and it appears that the scriptwriters have run out of ideas.
 +
 +
One would miss [[Ito Toshihito]]'s presence in Shomuni 1 and Shomuni 2, as the new person who replaces him, Okano, is not as charismatic or as good an actor as the former.
 +
 +
Thankfully though, the entire Shomuni saga ended with Shomuni Forever (telecast in 1 Janurary 2003). By that time, it had only generated 14.2% of the television ratings, compared to the average rating of 16.3% for this series with a peak of 23.1%.

[[Shomuni]] is based on a manga centering around six OLs (office ladies). [[Esumi Makiko]] plays Tsuboi Chinatsu, the boisterous and unyielding leader of the group. Due to some rumors, Tsukuhara [[Kyono Kotomi]] is demoted to working in General Affairs Section 2: the group of OLs who are in charge of replacing broken light bulbs, restocking toilet paper, and other such menial labor. This division of the business is often looked down upon by the other workers, especially the "elite secretariat," or executive assistants. But each episode proves to everyone just how important they are to the business as a whole.
