Actors Shunsuke Daito and Marie Iitoyo appear in NHK's "Drama 10: Shiba no Okite ~Warera Inu Baka Editorial Department~" (General TV, Tuesdays at 10pm). The subtitle of the third episode, which will be broadcast on October 14th, is "Ask Shiba what Shiba feels," and scene cuts have also been released.
The drama is based on the non-fiction book "Heisei Dog-crazy Editorial Department" by Yuka Katano. Set in the Shiba Inu magazine "Shiba One," the drama is a human story that gently unravels the tangled hearts of people. Daito plays Shunichi Sagara, the editor-in-chief of the Shiba Inu magazine, and Iitoyo plays Reika Ishimori, an editor who is somehow at odds with Sagara.
In the third episode, if the next issue is not a hit, "Shiba One" will be discontinued and the editorial department will be disbanded. Due to a promise between Sagara (Daito) and the president, Mitarai (Katsumura Masanobu), the editorial department is pushed into a corner after just two issues. Not wanting to give up now for Fuku-chan's sake, everyone in the editorial department decides to do what they want to do thoroughly since it will be the last issue anyway, and they each carry out their own ideas.
However, before submission, a problem occurs and four pages of the magazine end up with holes...
