This BL series from Yomiuri TV and Avex Pictures has been adapted from the manga “Sukiyanen Kedo Do Yaro Ka” by Chiba Ryoko. The title actually translates as "I Don't Like It But I Don't Know What To Do", although the producers have renamed the show as "Although I Love You, And You?" for its live series. It stars ex-Kamen Rider protégé, Kan Hideyoshi and Nishiyama Jun in the lead roles of Matsumoto Eie and Soga Hisashi, with support from So Okuno, Sae Murase, and Kazuki Horie who will all be playing original characters that are not in the manga. The series has been directed by Keisuke Shibata and Takahashi Endo.
Synopsis: "Matsumoto Eie owns and works at 'Tamae', a small restaurant located in the back alleys of downtown Osaka that serves cheap and delicious home-cooked meals. Eie, who speaks the Kansai dialect well, is friendly to everyone, young and old, men and women alike. His welcoming and cosy shop is always busy. One day, Soga Hisashi, a quiet, slender young man who wears glasses and who has recently been transferred from his office in Tokyo to Osaka, visits Tamae with his boss. Eie can’t take his eyes off Soga’s every move and is so fascinated by his actions that he feels like he has fallen in love with him at first sight. How will the reserved Soga respond?"
