It has been revealed that actress and model Ayami Nakajo will be appearing in the October TBS Tuesday drama "So, You Make It" (Tuesdays at 10pm), co-starring Kaho and Ryoma Takeuchi. Nakajo played Takeuchi's lover in "The Day the World Ends with You" (NTV), but in this film she plays the first female friend of Takeuchi's character, Katsuo, and a key figure who gives him encouragement after a broken heart.

The original work is a manga of the same name by Natsuko Taniguchi, currently being serialized in the digital comic magazine "Comic Tanto" (Bunkasha), and is a much talked about work that won first place in the "CREA Late Night Manga Awards" and fourth place in the "This Kono Manga ga Sugoi! 2025" women's edition. Yamagishi Ayumi (Kaho), who cooks elaborate meals for her lover and puts her "lover first," and Ebihara Katsuo (Takeuchi), who has a somewhat rare patriarchal mentality in the Reiwa era, have been dating since their university days, and they have gotten used to living together and things seem to be going well. Eventually, Katsuo makes the perfect proposal to Ayumi, but she unexpectedly replies, "No way." The story is about how, through the opportunity to "cook," they reexamine what they took for granted and grow as people.

Nakajo plays Kashiwakura Tsubaki, a woman whom Katsuo meets on a dating app he started using after breaking up with Ayumi. She is the president of a mail-order company, cheerful and innocent, and has a side to her that doesn't worry about small things, but she has not been able to forget a certain past. She is a good confidant for Katsuo and a key person who gives him the push he needs.

Nakajo, who previously played lovers with Takeuchi, said, "When I read the script, I thought Takeuchi was similar to Katsuo. He's headstrong in a good way, so I'm looking forward to seeing how I'll act in scenes where we co-star and support each other as friends."

◇Comment from Ayami Nakajo

When I heard about Tsubaki's character setting, I felt that there were some things in common with me and that I could empathize with. I think that I'm similar to Tsubaki in that I tend to be very forthright about what I think, so I'm looking forward to playing the role. I hope I can grow through this role.

When I read the script, I thought Takeuchi-san was similar to Katsuo. He's headstrong in a good way, so I'm looking forward to seeing how I'll act in scenes with him and scenes where we support each other as friends. I've worked with Takeuchi-san in completely different roles up until now, so I'm really looking forward to working with him this time. This is my first time working with Kaho-san, but we haven't had a scene together yet, so we haven't had a chance to talk. I'm really looking forward to working with her in the future!

I would like to carefully portray the role of Tsubaki. I hope that through this drama, everyone will be able to rediscover who they are and what they like.
