The synopsis for the second episode of the Sunday Theatre drama " Mikami Sensei " (TBS, Sundays 9pm), starring actor Tori Matsuzaka , which will air on January 26th, has been released.
" Mikami Sensei" is about Takashi Mikami (Matsuzaka), a bureaucrat in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology who wants to change the Japanese education system, who is ordered to transfer to a private high school called Rintoku Gakuin. In reality, it was a demotion, but Mikami himself takes to the podium and leads 18-year-old high school students living in the Reiwa era while standing up to authority... This is a "great reversal education revival story."
This completely original work will be written by Shimori Roba, who will be teaming up with Matsuzaka for the first time since the film "The Journalist," and will be writing the script for a prime-time drama series for the first time. Kazutaka Iida, who has been in charge of popular Sunday Theater dramas such as "Anti-Hero" (2024) and "VIVANT" (2023), will serve as producer.
In the second episode, the murder that occurred at the exam venue and the adultery article that he leaked are related. Kanzaki (Daiken Okudaira) of the press club, who was concerned about the words of the government, goes to meet Saejima (Takako Tokiwa), a teacher who left Rintoku Gakuin.
As the truth becomes clear, Misao has the students debate Kanzaki's article. At the same time, Tsukada (Mitsuhiro Oikawa) and Makino (Masaki Okada) from the Ministry of Education begin to take action.
The story unfolds as to what is the relationship between the murder, the adultery article, Neighborhood Justice, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and what the murderer's motive is...
