Singer-songwriter SG created the ending theme song "Petrichor" specifically for the live-action series.
Kanade feels like he's living under a constant storm cloud with his unfulfilled life. Stuck working a typical office job and keeping himself closeted, he's convinced there will be no sunny days ahead. But those monotonous days are suddenly interrupted when he reunites with Mashiro, an old classmate he harbored hidden feelings for! Finally, Kanade has found a bit of sunshine in his gray, dreary life with Mashiro's arrival. With a chance to get to know each other again, could this be Kanade's second chance to find love with the one who got away?
Masashi Ikeda (A Man Who Defies the World of BL, Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger) plays Shinichirō Kanade, while FANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE member Natsuki Hori plays Kōsuke Mashiro.
Other cast members include:
- Reika Kirishima as Mitsuko Mashiro, Kōsuke's mother
- Miho Watanabe as Sumire Aizawa, Shinichirō Kanade's colleague, who has feelings for him
- Maho Yamada as Aya Kanamori, another colleague of Shinichirō and also a good confidant
- Koh Takasugi as Master, the coffee shop owner where Shinichirō and Kōsuke meet again
Nobuyoshi Yamada and Masafumi Asami are directing the series, with scripts by Satoko Okazaki. Yuri Habuka is composing the music. Rock band Karanoah performs the opening theme song "aquarium."
The series will start streaming on the U-NEXT service on June 25 at 9:00 p.m. (8:00 a.m. EDT) and will then premiere on the TV Tokyo, TV Aichi, TV Setouchi, TV Hokkaido, TVQ, and TV Osaka channels on July 2.
Rakuta launched the manga in Ichijinsha and pixiv's Comic POOL manga website in August 2019 and ended it in August 2020. The second and final compiled book volume shipped in Japan in October 2020.
Tokyopop also published Rakuta's I'm Looking for Serious Love! manga. That manga ran in Overlap's LiQulle magazine from September 2018 to February 2019, and had one compiled book volume.
