Fumihiko Matsumaru is an average salaryman with no girlfriend. He invited his colleague Miss Tanaka to a movie but was stood up. Right at the time he was about to toss tickets into a trash can, a cute girl appeared and asked him not to waste those two tickets. After movie and dinner, he escorted her home and found they live in the same neighborhood, yet unfortunately her apartment caught on fire hours later. Having nowhere else to stay, rookie seiyuu Aka Onda moved to Matsumaru's place, and the two had started a "more than friend but not yet lovers" relationship under the same roof while keeping this secret from their employers.

Where it came from
Rec was produced by the studio Shaft and released in 2006 as a series of short-form episodes. Adapted from the manga by Hanamura Qyuru, the series fits into the studio's mid-2000s output, occurring during a period where Shaft was experimenting with shorter, more intimate narrative formats before the stylistic shift characterized by director Akiyuki Shinbo's later works like Monogatari.
The story follows the blossoming relationship between a salaryman and an aspiring voice actress, focusing on the domestic and professional challenges of their connection. The series was designed to be a grounded, character-driven romance that stood out for its brevity and focus on interpersonal dynamics, receiving moderate attention from fans of the seinen demographic for its earnest approach to adult relationships.
