■Drama “What if “Renai” was not in the world”
The long-awaited drama adaptation of the comic “What if “Lenai” was not in the world” was serialized on the love web media AM in 2021, and the story depicted in a unique worldview that “it’s not normal to fall in love” attracted sympathy and talked about. Shimazaki Haruka plays the main character, Otoha, who is aware of Renai, who falls in love with a particular person in a world where there is no love. ISSEI plays Hare, who is also a “renai”, but unlike Otoha, lives with her romantic feelings hidden. Yachinatsu is a writer known for his candid portrayals of work, love, marriage, and the feelings of women in their 30s who have endless worries, including “Does True Women Need Sex Industry?” (drama title: “Jofuu: Do Women Need XXXX?”), which was also a hot topic in the drama adaptation. The director is Ima Kazuki, who has directed many popular films such as “First Penguin!” and “Nurse Aid.” The scripts are written by Angerme and Morning Musume. He has written lyrics for various idol groups such as Ebisu Junior High School and FRUITS ZIPPER, as well as numerous TV anime works, and was also a nominee for the 169th Akutagawa Ryunosuke Prize for “#NAME##” in 2023. The popular novelist and lyricist Kodama Ameko is in charge of his first script, and Hanada Maiko and others are also co-writers. This film will also be broadcast on CBC TV on the new drama slot “Drama Trip” (every Thursday night), which will be launched in July, and will be available for viewing on TVer after it will be broadcast on terrestrial television.
