“Hidarime Tantei Eye” drama special becomes series

NTV has announced that last month’s drama special “Hidarime Tantei EYE” is being turned into a full series next season. This will be the first lead role in a series for Hey! Say! JUMP’s Ryosuke Yamada (16).

In the special, Yamada played junior high student Ainosuke Tanaka, who receives a corneal transplant in his left eye from his deceased older brother, played by Kanjani8’s Yu Yokoyama (28). He begins seeing visions hinting at a large crime organization, leading him to fight against it. The new series will be a continuation of the special.

In addition to Yamada and Yokoyama, actress Satomi Ishihara (22) is also reprising her role as a supportive teacher.

NTV will broadcast the drama on Saturdays at 9:00pm. The first episode will be sometime in January.
