■Nakayama Kinni-kun Comment
Some people say, “I started muscle training because of this drama,” and I say, “I started muscle training because I watched it.” Just watching this drama will pump up not only your muscles but also your heart.
I don’t know about normal acting, but I would like you to pay attention to the way he shows off his muscles, and the way he is building up his muscles for the winter bulking period.

■Fumiho Kato (Hinatazaka46) Comment
It was so much fun! It was a wonderful experience to be able to see macho people up close!
Anyway, all the characters are honest and work hard, which is a wonderful work. It’s a drama that will warm your heart and make you laugh, so please watch it!

■Rie Mimura comment
Since the first work, I thought, “She’s doing something interesting!”, so I’m very honored to be asked to play the heroine.
When I first read the script I received, I burst out laughing. It’s a kindly constructed comedy that will make you laugh and feel good. Sujitaro’s love story, Nakayama’s physical beauty, delusional world view… Please check out this work that will keep you entertained for two nights without getting bored!
