The official website for the live-action series adaptation of Yutaka Hiiragi's Shinmai Shimai no Futari Gohan (The Sisters' Meal for Two) manga revealed two new cast members for the series on Friday. Mei Tanaka plays Eri, Sachi's childhood friend and classmate. Haruka Imō plays Nao, a girl who likes literature and is Ayari's first friend.
The site also revealed a new visual showing Anna Yamada as older sister Sachi (right in image below) and Karen Otomo as younger sister Ayari (left in picture below).
The series will premiere on TV Tokyo's "MokuDora 25" programming block on October 10. Kentarō Moriya, Hiroaki Yuasa, and Kenji Kuwajima are directing the series, with scripts by Erika Seki, Yūki Imanishi, and Hikaru Sōma.
The manga centers on the girls Sachi and Ayari who become sisters due to their parents' marriage. The two bond over cooking and eating. Sachi is bad at cooking, but loves to eat anything delicious. Ayari is introverted but is intensely passionate about anything related to cooking.
Hiiragi launched the manga in Kadokawa's Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh magazine in June 2015. Kadokawa published the manga's sixth compiled book volume on January 25.
Yen Press published the yuri anthology manga Éclair: A Girls' Love Anthology That Resonates in Your Heart in June 2018, and it includes a short manga by Hiiragi.
