The sixth episode of the TV Tokyo drama series "Couple and 16-Year-Old ~The Mad Neighbor~," starring actress Rino Katase and Issei Mamehara of the global boy group "JO1," will air at 1:30 AM on August 6th. The preview introduces the character as a "self-proclaimed 16-year-old beautiful girl," "actually a 61-year-old woman," and "love runs wild," and includes a scene in which Katase's character, Miko, says, "Miko is yours."
The drama is based on the manga of the same name by Pumpkin, which is serialized independently on the manga app "Shonen Jump+." It is a romantic horror story filled with madness, in which a 61-year-old woman who "identifies as a 16-year-old beautiful girl" moves in next door to a newlywed couple and falls in love at first sight. Despite knowing that the man is married, she thinks "If you love him, then take him" and tries all sorts of romantic schemes.
Katase plays Shiraishi Yoshiko, a 61-year-old woman who considers herself a 16-year-old beauty and falls in love with her younger, handsome neighbor; Mamehara plays Nomura Hiro, a kind-hearted, handsome office worker who is instantly smitten by her crazy neighbor; Yui Okada plays Nomura Sae, Hiro's wife and a bright and energetic former hostess; and Hayashi Meari plays the "ideal 16-year-old beauty Shiraishi Yoshiko" that 61-year-old Shiraishi Yoshiko has created in her mind.
In episode 6, Hiro (Mamehara) is caught kissing Nanako (Kitamura Yui) in front of a hotel by his wife Sae (Okada) and Miko (Katase). After the chaotic scene, Sae leaves home, leaving behind divorce papers, and Hiro is tormented by guilt, drowning his sorrows in alcohol. Meanwhile, Miko sees this as an opportunity to seduce Hiro now that Sae has left, but she becomes impatient when Hiro doesn't propose, and finally decides to give him a shocking gift. What could that gift be...?
Miko's delusional world, beyond human comprehension, blossoms wildly.
