## Production

It was broadcast on Nippon Television's " Sunday Drama " every Sunday from 22:30 to 23:25 from October 14 to December 16, 2018.

This is Kaku Kento's first lead role in 6 years since "Clover", and this is his first lead role on Nippon Television. To play the role of Mitsuhashi, he lost 5-6 kg in order to bring his appearance closer to that of a high school student.

The "pointy" hairstyle of Kentaro Ito, who plays Shinji Ito, is created from his own hair using hair styling products for 40 minutes in the morning, rather than using a wig.

On April 5, 2019, the film version was announced during an event to screen all 10 episodes at once to commemorate the release of Blu-ray and DVD.

The theatrical version was released on July 17, 2020, and a special drama will be broadcast on the same day in the Friday Road SHOW! slot. Additionally, from July 12th to August 15th, terrestrial rebroadcasts were held locally in the Kanto region on Saturdays and Sundays as a special edition.
