My Personal Weatherman - Japan

[antistatic]

 


This series is the second in this year's MBS Tunku drama shower. It's based on the manga ‘Taikan Yohou’ by Taino Nikke, a title that actually translates as 'Experience Forecast', however the producers have opted to go with ‘My Personal Weatherman’ which is the English name the manga is already more familiar by. It stars Kouhei Higuchi and Atsuki Mashiko (members of the Japanese idol group Genic) as the main couple, Segasaki and Yoh; with support from Sayuri Matsumura and Atomu Mizuishi as Yoh's friends, Man-san and Tokuya. The story depicts the relationship between a good-looking weather forecaster and his roommate, an erotic manga artist. It's directed by Ayaka Kato, who helmed 'Old Fashioned Cupcake' alongside Pearl Funabiki and Emi Yasumura.


      


Synopsis: "Segasaki is a popular weather forecaster due to his outward charm and good looks, but what his fans don't know is that he is a tyrant at home. Struggling manga artist Yoh knows this very well, because the two of them live together, and it is he who cooks and cleans for Segasaki in exchange for being provided food and shelter. He must obey everything that Segasaki says if he wants to stay there, but what more might this unwritten contract entail?"

1st Teaser (no subs)



There are eight episodes, the first of which will debut on Wednesday 10th August (replacing “April in Tokyo is...” ). No information has so far been made about an international release but it's almost certain that it will follow all previous Tunku drama shower releases and end up on GagaOOLala.

Interview and Q&A session with actors Kouhei Higuchi and Atsuki Mashiko. It's fully subbed although half of the time is spent by the two of them trying to pronounce "GagaOOLala" right!

Also. I'm not quite sure what Kouhei's hand was doing at around the 8.24 mark?

Any word on whether there will be a S2? The way the series ended didn't really resolved much
