Tanaka, who has never been involved in a real-life romance, is confessed to by Murai but rejects his confession.  On the next day, Murai transforms himself into the exact likeness of Tanaka&#8217;s favorite character from her favorite otome game.  20-year-old Hikaru Takahashi, who is also cast as the main heroine Totoko in the forthcoming live-action film adaptation of <em>Mr.  Osomatsu<\/em> anime series, plays the main heroine Tanaka.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hadn&#8217;t really thought about the possibility of a drama adaptation, so when I first heard about it, I thought, &#8216;What the hell is going to happen?&#8217;  But I&#8217;m grateful for the opportunity to take on a new challenge like this,&#8221; the manga author Shima says.  &#8220;When I read the script, I was quite surprised at how well it summarized what I thought should have been done in the manga, and how well the detailed settings were included. Both the main characters, Tanaka and Murai, have strange behaviour, and I&#8217;m sure they are difficult roles to play, but I really hope that Takahashi-san, who plays Tanaka, and the actor who plays Murai can find the fun in their characters and go wild without allowances.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><center>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>The news was also announced on the manga&#8217;s official Twitter account.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"ja\">???????????????????????????????<br \/>\u300e\u6751\u4e95\u306e\u604b\u300f<br \/>?????????<br \/>???????????????????????????????<\/p>\n<p>4\u67085\u65e5(\u706b)\u6df1\u591c24:58\uff5eTBS\u7cfb\u306b\u3066\u653e\u9001\u958b\u59cb\u30c3\uff01\uff01<br \/>\u203b\u4e00\u90e8\u5730\u57df\u3092\u306e\u305e\u304f<\/p>\n<p>[CAST]<br \/>\u7530\u4e2d\u5f79\u30fb <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E9%AB%99%E6%A9%8B%E3%81%B2%E3%81%8B%E3%82%8B?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u9ad9\u6a4b\u3072\u304b\u308b<\/a> \u3055\u3093<br \/>\u6751\u4e95\u5f79\u30fb\uff1f\uff1f\uff1f<\/p>\n<p>\u7d9a\u5831\u3092\u5f85\u3066\u2015\u2015\u203c<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E6%9D%91%E4%BA%95%E3%81%AE%E6%81%8B?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u6751\u4e95\u306e\u604b<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9Z6bvyjaCe\">pic.twitter.com\/9Z6bvyjaCe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u6f2b\u753b\u300e\u6751\u4e95\u306e\u604b\u300f\u516c\u5f0f@\u30c9\u30e9\u30de\u5316\u6c7a\u5b9a!!
