posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The official Twitter account for the live-action series of Natsumi Shiba's Mr. Bride (Watashi no Oyome-kun) manga revealed two more cast members for the series on Monday. The two play Chihiro's older brothers. Fuji TV also revealed the show's April 12 premiere date.
Terunosuke Takezai (left in image above) plays Masami, the eldest among three brothers. Yūta Furukawa (right) plays Kaori, the middle child.
Haru will play Honoka Hayami (pictured above on left), and Mahiro Takasugi will play Chihiro Yamamoto (right).
Other cast members include (left to right in image above):
- Kentarō Maeda as Ran Hanazuma, a new hire at the company's sales department
- Sawa Nimura as Reina Akane, an HR employee who has been in the company as long as Yamamoto has
- Aoi Nakamura as Iori Koga, an employee at the company's Fukuoka branch office
Kodansha USA Publishing licensed the manga, and it describes the story:
Hayami is the it-woman at her job—she's cool, confident, and admired by all. But her has-it-all exterior belies a dark secret...her house is a mess, and she's no good at taking care of herself! Enter Yamamoto-kun—her colleague who thinks the world of her, and who refuses to let her slobbish behavior slide. Soon he's over at her house often enough that she asks him to move in with her! Where will this roundabout relationship take them?!
Shiba debuted the manga in Kodansha's Kiss magazine in 2019. Kodansha published the manga's eighth compiled book volume on February 13.
