Drama "Ubai Ai, Manatsu" Episode 3 Synopsis

The third episode of the TV Asahi drama series " Ubai Ai, Manatsu " starring actress Marika Matsumoto will be broadcast on August 8th. The episode is scheduled to start at 11:45 pm on that day, but if "Netto Koshien" is cancelled, it will be broadcast 30 minutes earlier.

While working overtime, Manatsu (Matsumoto) almost kisses the married company president, Tokimu ( Ken Yasuda Ken), again, but stops herself. However, Manatsu is now faced with a more intense conflict than before. When she and Tokimu stare at each other from close range, Manatsu realizes that she definitely loves him.

Hanabi (Mori Kasumi), the younger sister of Tokimu's wife, Mirai (Maryjun Takahashi), and Manatsu's colleague, continues to work behind the scenes. She hints at an unusual relationship between Manatsu and Tokimu, not only to Mirai but also to Suga Yuki (Ishii Masanori), the PR director who is hostile towards Tokimu, disrupting their relationships. Mirai, who loves her husband dearly, becomes increasingly abnormal in her behavior.

At an internal company meeting, Tokimu proposes that he wants to repair a large clock that the father of the previous president once donated to an elementary school, but is strongly opposed by Suga and others who question the cost-effectiveness of the project. However, Manatsu sympathizes with Tokimu's ambition. The two head to the closed elementary school, but what awaits them is a pandemonium...? Something unbelievable happens in the abandoned school's swimming pool!

This is the latest installment in the "Ubai Ai" series, which has always been a hot topic due to its turbulent love-hate drama and the cast's eccentric performances. The script is written by series creator Osamu Suzuki.
