The heroine Yoshitaka plays is named ‘Takahashi Nanami’, who falls in love with Yano, and tries to accept the shadow in his heart while loving him sincerely. She commented, “It’s a wonderful and well-loved manga which has been read by many people, so I will try my best to play the role without betraying the fans of manga.”
