‘Ossan’s Love Returns’ Introduces Two New Characters For the Sequel

The two new cast members will play the roles of Haruta and Maki’s mysterious next-door neighbors!

The official account initially teased with a photo of two figures with their backs to the camera. It was later revealed that Iura Arata and Miura Shohei would join the sequel as mysterious new characters living next door to Haruta and Maki’s new house. Iura Arata is set to portray Kou Izumi, and Miura Shohei will take on the role of Kikunosuke Rikudo in the upcoming series.

 

Kou Izumi, Haruta’s subordinate at Renku Real Estate, is lazy and clumsy but surprisingly emotional, as he suddenly bursts into tears when he looks at Haruta’s face. One day, he suddenly falls covered in blood and reveals he’s not just a colleague but also Haruta and Maki’s next-door neighbor, hiding many secrets.

Kikunosuke Rikudo owns a popular mobile rice ball store in town. Surprisingly, he is also the next-door neighbor of Haruta and Maki, and it appears he is living with Izumi. What exactly is his relationship with him?

“What does it mean to fall in love with someone?” questions Soichi Haruta, an unpopular single office worker portrayed by Kei Tanaka. Alongside him is Musashi Kurosawa, an elderly man concealing his genuinely tender and girlish heart, showcasing a surprising blend of handsomeness and charm, portrayed by Kotaro Yoshida. The much-anticipated sequel will unfold the dream newlywed life of Harutan and Maki, now in their forties. Despite their previous happy days, both now find themselves entangled in the demands of responsible roles within the company, leading to frequent fights over small matters. Enter Mr. Musashi, who had taken early retirement and had taken a new career as a housekeeper. Five years have passed since the days when bosses and subordinates were vying for Haruta’s attention. In this narrative, roles have shifted, and a new dynamic emerges — a “mother-in-law battle” takes center stage!

The sequel ‘Ossan’s Love Returns’ will be released on January 05, 2024, next year on local TV station TV Asahi’s Friday night drama time slot! What kind of story awaits to unfold in this sequel? Please stay tuned to BLtai for further updates regarding its international release!
