Chiba Ryoko’s manga, ‘Sukiyanen Kedo Dou Yaro Ka?’ has been announced for a live adaptation and will premiere on January 11!
‘Sukiyanen Kedo Dou Yaro Ka?’ (Although I Love You, And You?) is a drama adaptation based on Chiba Ryoko’s manga of the same name. The story follows Soga, who, after a divorce and relocation to Osaka, seeks solace in dining at 26-year-old Sakae’s restaurant. Unbeknownst to Soga, Sakae sees him as more than just a regular customer. Kan Hideyoshi, known for his role in Kamen Rider Geats, will portray the character Soga Hisashi, a divorced salesman who transferred from Tokyo to Osaka. Meanwhile, Nishiyama Jun will be Matsumoto Sakae, the young owner of “Tamae” with a strong Kansai dialect. Originally released in 2013, the manga has been serialized by GUSH Comics. Accompanying the drama adaptation, original characters from the series will make appearances, and a storyline not depicted in the manga will be developed. The series is scheduled to premiere on January 11 in the “Drama DiVE” slot.
