‘Minato’s Laundromat’ is a twelve-episode TV drama adaptation based on Tsubaki Yuzu’s manga “Minato Shouji Coin Laundry”. The drama was broadcasted last June on local channel TV Tokyo and simultaneously streamed for international fans on streaming platforms, GagaOOLala and Rakuten Viki. It depicts the story between Akira Minato (played by Kusakawa Takuya), the owner of an old laundromat, and Shintaro Katsuki (played by Nishigaki Sho), a high school student. And today, the official Twitter account announced the good news.

The drama will be returning with a new sequel — a continuation of Minato and Shintaro’s love story, which became a couple after 10 years! The script will be written by Junichi Kansai, and Yamashita Shubaru, who also participated in the first season. It is under the direction of Kitagawa Hitomi and Ryo Kawasaki, who is one of three directors of the ongoing Japanese BL, Naked Dining. And lastly, sets to be released in July on the local channel TV Tokyo.
