◇The following contains spoilers.
Nami was one of the first students to launch the development of canned mackerel for space food, together with Shunichi Asano (played by Kitamura), a teacher at Wakasa Fisheries High School. She was a bright and outspoken class leader who always expressed her opinions clearly.
The preview for episode 7 shows Nami, wearing a jacket, charmingly saying, "I'm Sugawara 'Sensei' now." It also depicts a scene where she tells Asano, "Sensei, are you still aiming for space? You don't look like it at all."
Social media was buzzing with excitement, with comments like, "Nami's back!", "I'm in tears because Nami's back as a teacher!", "Nami's back!", and "You can tell from the trailer that Nami's passion for sending canned mackerel into space hasn't changed, so I'm looking forward to seeing what happens."
The drama is an original coming-of-age story based on the true story of students at a fisheries high school in Fukui Prefecture who challenged themselves to achieve their big dream of "developing space food."
