The fifth episode of the drama series "The Reason We Fall in Love" (TV Asahi, Saturday 11pm), starring Kikuchi Fuma of the three-member group "timelesz", will air on November 9th.
In the fourth episode last week, the taciturn boss Kurosawa (Kikuchi) and the earnest subordinate Aoi (Kumada Rinka) shared their feelings. Kurosawa told him, "No matter how you look at it, I love you," and Aoi shed tears of joy as the two kissed.
Kurosawa and Aoi have gone from being boss and subordinate to falling in love, but in the fifth episode, a "sudden turn of events" awaits the two. While Kurosawa pretends to be calm at work, his feelings for Aoi only grow stronger. Meanwhile, Kurosawa invites Aoi to dinner at his home for the first time since they started dating. After a happy meal, Kurosawa and Aoi go to the bedroom. Kurosawa strips off his clothes and is topless, but...
Meanwhile, Sakamoto Ryo (Shichigosankake Tatsuya) is convinced that his admired senior, Ayaka (Yamazaki Hirona), has a boyfriend, but is unable to let go of his feelings and invites her on a date to a batting center. Not only does the "puppy boy" Sakamoto show off his amazing batting skills that are sure to make you fall in love with him, but he also gently teaches Ayaka step by step while hugging her from behind.
Oshima Kei (Yoshihisa Hajime), who misunderstands Ozu Kyo's (Saito Nagisa) feelings, heads to the sauna with Sakamoto, who is also worried because he senses that Ayaka has a boyfriend.
The drama is a live-action adaptation of the manga of the same name (Cream Puff) by ma2, which won the grand prize in the adult romance category at the 2nd Minna no Oshi Romance Manga Awards (2023). Set in an office, the drama depicts the love stories of three couples.
