Watanabe Shota, a member of the supergroup Snow Man, whose concert tickets are said to be the hardest to get in Japan, and whose reputation as an actor is also on the rise, plays Aoshima Mizuki, a handsome and popular younger man who doesn't eat at all, but has no interest in romance or marriage!

Meanwhile, Anne Nakamura, who is in high demand for popular dramas, will be playing Yukino Katsuragi, a “dried fish type girl” who is about to turn 35. This summer, the two will be co-starring in a drama for the first time, and the two will embark on an age-gap “contract love” that begins with a small lie!

In addition, the theme song for “Aoshima-kun is Mean” has been decided to be Snow Man's new song “You Are Boku no Mono” (MENT RECORDING). This song is a sweet “classic love song” with a sound that evokes the sparkling scenery of summer, singing about the feelings of someone who has realized they are in love!

■Comment from Professor Yu Yoshii

Nearly three years have passed since the serialization ended… and now, to everyone's surprise, it's being made into a TV drama!

I never dreamed it would turn out like this when the series first began, so I'm happy and surprised, and still can't believe it, but I owe this wonderful opportunity to all the readers who supported me, and to everyone who was involved in “Aoshima-kun is Mean.” Thank you so much!

I'm really looking forward to meeting the characters I've been drawing on my desk every Saturday at 11pm. I hope a lot of people will watch the drama “Aoshima-kun is mean” ^^
