The NHK drama series "Hitori de Shinitai" (General TV, Saturday 10pm), starring actress Ayase Haruka, will air its final episode on August 2nd. The subtitle of the episode is "Love is Written but Read as Troublesome." According to the synopsis, being ignored makes Narumi (Ayase) curious, and she begins to pursue Nasuda (Hayato Sano). Scene cuts have also been released.
The drama is an unprecedented social comedy about "end-of-life planning," based on the manga of the same name by Kaoru Curryzawa, which has been praised as a "laughable gag manga about end-of-life planning." The script is written by Mika Omori, who wrote the 2015 Asadora drama "Asa ga Kita" and the 2021 taiga drama "Aozora o Tsuke."
In the final episode, Nasuda gets Narumi's attention by "ignoring" her. This is the same method his parents used on him as a child. Nasuda was neglected. "I felt like I could become a normal child if I was with you," Nasuda says, explaining why he was attracted to Narumi and confessing his feelings to her once again.
Meanwhile, Kazuo (Kunimura Jun) is preparing for the end of his life and says he wants to sell the house, causing a big commotion at his parents' home...
