■Yuki Katayama comment
The original manga and script are very interesting, so I’m thinking every day about how to make it even more interesting without ruining the fun.
I think it would be great if we could show Sone-chan’s many different sides and different tensions, such as when she’s with Hiroto, at work, and when she’s playing with her uncles. Cold winter! I’ll do my best to shoot!

■ Hina Higuchi comment
Although she has feelings for Ryo-kun, she may actually be aware of her own discomfort with love.
Meguro-chan is pure yet complex, and the more I photograph her, the more I love her.
The words uttered from each character’s life experiences have a variety of colors and are very interesting.
I also realized something important…
I hope everyone enjoys it and doesn’t miss out on everything.

■Reio Matsumoto comment
Hikorohi, who is also from Ehime Prefecture, will be working on his first script for a drama series, so I’m really happy to be able to appear in such a memorable work.
Ryo-kun, the character I play, is a genius who lures people in with meaningless lines and lies, which makes me angry, funny, and cool. I want to enjoy myself while acting so that I can convey a variety of emotions to everyone.
This is an interesting work in which each person has a strong individuality, so I hope you enjoy watching it from the perspectives of various people.
◇Baba-kun (Sorato Okura)

The reason why he plays such a junior, Baba-kun, so endearingly is because of himself. member Sorat Okura.

■Sorat Okura comment
My name is Soto Okura and I will be playing Baba-kun.
This time, it was a life-sized role, which is rare for me these days, and I was able to go into filming with a very flat feeling!
Baba-kun is a new employee of the company from Aomori Prefecture. She may be a bit cheeky due to her Tokyo roots, but I think she still has the cuteness that only a junior can have!
I wish I could support Hiroto Utsunomiya, played by Kaito Matsukura, from the office!
Please enjoy the broadcast!

A junior at Sone’s company. Love over work. A Minato Ward girl who is always looking to meet the best man. He loves love stories with Sone-chan and Meguro-chan more than anything, but there is also a side of him that is so intoxicated by his ideal love that he unconsciously spits out poison.

■ Yuki Mio comment
It was really interesting to read the script because each of the characters were characters that made me think that there really are people who are in love like this.
Matsuda-chan, who I will be playing this time, is a girl from Minato Ward who loves girl talk. I hope to be able to have fun and perform realistic plays on set.
I want to do my best to be a good spice for my work.

■Niyama (Sayaka) Comment
I am Sayaka Shinzan, an actor who will be playing the role of Noda. I came to Tokyo this spring and wanted to try something new, but I never expected to receive an offer for a drama.
It was my first acting job, so I was excited when I read the script, but there were more roles and lines than I expected, and my happiness turned to fear in an instant.
However, that fear has now turned into a sense of responsibility!
I will do my best not to betray the relationship with Hikorohi and the efforts of Matsukura-kun, who plays the lead role!
ABC, who helped me with M-1 until last year, will work hard on the drama this year!
