It was revealed on November 21st that the title of the NHK morning drama series for the first half of 2027 will be "Mawaru Asadora," with Misato Morita playing the lead role. The script is written by comedian Bakarhythm. The human comedy follows the protagonist, who aspires to be a detective and becomes a police officer, as he lives an ordinary everyday life until he finds a path to "protecting an everyday life where nothing happens." The synopsis has also been released.
"Meguru Swan" is the 116th serial TV drama. The protagonist, who was born and raised in Sawa City, Nagano Prefecture, graduated from the police academy and gained experience at a police box. He is currently working as a police officer in the Public Safety Division of the Sawa Police Station in Nagano Prefecture, his hometown.
The mission of the Community Safety Division is to prevent crimes by responding to inquiries from citizens. They deal with a wide range of issues, including fraudulent business practices, illegal dumping, missing persons, juvenile delinquency, domestic violence and stalking, licensing of adult entertainment businesses, and crime prevention awareness activities. He became a police officer because he aspired to be a detective, but he has never arrested a criminal and has always been arrested playing the role of a criminal at crime prevention events. Although he is dissatisfied with his mundane job that is not covered in newspapers or on television, he works diligently with his unique superiors, seniors, and juniors at the Sawa Police Station Community Safety Division.
On her days off, she spends her time just like any other office worker, going to cafes or traveling with her high school classmates, or having takoyaki parties at home. These moments are an important way for her to relieve stress. However, when she sits in the passenger seat of her friend's car, she sometimes finds herself reverting to her old police car habits, checking for safety or almost backing up.
As the days go by, even after being transferred to a different police station, he gains experience as a police officer in the Community Safety Division and eventually becomes a trusted presence in the community. Years later, the protagonist becomes the head of the Community Safety Division at Sawa Police Station, and as he gazes at the Shiratori-go floating on Lake Sawa, he thinks to himself, "Nothing happened today either."
*Sawa City is a fictional town based on the area around Lake Suwa, including Suwa City in Nagano Prefecture.
