posted on by Karen Ressler
A live-action television drama based on writer Yukari Koyama and artist Eliza Kusakabe's Holiday Love: Fūfukan Ren'ai (Love Between Married Couples) manga has been green-lit and will premiere in January. Riisa Naka (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time) will star in the series, which will air on TV Asahi on Fridays at 11:15 p.m.
Chiho Watanabe is writing the script and Ayato Matsuda is directing.
The story depicts adultery for two married couples. Naka plays the protagonist, 30-year-old housewife Azu Takamori, who has opened a nail salon. She feels her husband Junpei does not love her as a woman, but goes about her daily life as normal. Then, Junpei's adultery comes to light.
The manga launched on DeNA's free MangaBox app in September 2014. Kodansha published the fifth compiled volume on June 13.
