Takara-kun & Amagi-kun is set to premiere on MBS' one-year limited drama slot "Drama Shower" on August 18, 2022.
I was surprised at first to be able to take on the challenge of a BL work, a genre that I have never touched before.
As I read through the script, I thought it would be a work where I could enjoy various scenes of comedic conversations and delicate human psychology in one episode.
When I actually played the role, I was deeply impressed by the fact that Amagi is so sensitive and has various feelings, and I felt something fresh with my colleague Arata Sato, who played the role of Takara, since we had auditioned for the position. I hope everyone enjoys it.
Takara, who belongs to the most prominent group in his class and is always popular with the others, and Amagi, a pure boy who is not the prominent type but is bright, energetic, and well-liked by others.
Although they are classmates in the same high school, they seem to have no interaction with each other due to the difference in group caste, but in fact, both have become interested in the other. Realizing that it is love, Takara and Amagi decide to go out with each other without telling their classmates.
However, Amagi, who is basically swept away by Takara's lack of words and actions, and who is troubled alone, makes a decision...?

MAIN CAST AND COMMENTS:
ARATA SATO - SHUN TAKARA
My name is Arata Sato of IMPACTors. I have always loved manga and anime, so I am very happy and grateful to have been chosen to play my first leading role in a drama based on a manga.
When I actually played the role of Takara-kun, who is always expressionless and cool, it was very difficult for me personally to keep my emotions from getting too much into my speech.
I am very nervous about the fact that this is a live-action adaptation of a popular manga, but I want to make sure that not only the fans but also the fans of the original manga will be satisfied with the film.
