The upcoming Japanese drama “Panda yori Koi ga Nigate na Watashitachi”, starring Ikuta Toma and Kamishiraishi Moka, has announced additional cast members. Shishido Kavka, Miyazawa Emma, Nimura Sawa, and Koyuki will be joining the ensemble, adding more depth and appeal to the production.
Adapted from Sena Kazuaki’s novel of the same name, the series delivers a charming romantic comedy that reflects the anxieties and emotional struggles of modern individuals. By using “animal courtship behavior” as a narrative motif, the story juxtaposes scientific observation with human emotions, offering new perspectives on happiness and self-understanding.
Synopsis
Ichiha Shibata joins a publishing company with dreams of becoming a fashion magazine editor, only to learn on her first day that the magazine is being discontinued. She is reassigned to a lifestyle magazine’s editorial team and tasked with launching a love-advice column written by her idol, model Haizawa Aria.
Following Aria’s blunt order to “just write something,” Ichiha visits Shido Tsukasa (Ikuta Toma), a university associate professor dedicated to studying animal courtship behavior and indifferent to anything unrelated to his research. Their unexpected encounter sets the stage for a warm, humorous, and thought-provoking romantic journey.
