The fourth episode of NHK's "Drama 10 'Shiba no Okite ~Warera Inu Baka Editorial Department~' (General TV, Tuesdays at 10pm), starring actors Daito Shunsuke and Iitoyo Marie, titled "Shiba is the glue that binds the family," will be broadcast on October 28th. The episode was postponed last week due to breaking news.
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 fourth episode, Sagara (Daito), who was cornered by manuscript problems, planned a "Shiba Senryu" that turned out to be a huge hit. As a result of "Shiba Senryu," the "Shiba ONE" editorial department, which had been treated as a "burden" and a "sinking ship" within the company, began to be featured on television and began to be respected.
Sagara gets carried away and comes up with the idea of serializing a "challenge project," planning to have Fukusuke (voiced by Tokio Emoto) take on a new challenge and make him a star. However, Fukusuke goes too far and is NG'd when he is filmed...
