Actress Alisa Mizuki (32) is starring in a TBS drama series next season called "Ohitorisama." The show will be a romantic comedy, pairing her up with young actor Teppei Koike (23).

"Ohitorisama" is an original series by screenwriter Masaya Ozaki ("Kekkon Dekinai Otoko," "Oniyome Nikki"). Mizuki plays a teacher at a prestigious girls' school, who excels in her work but lacks in cooking and housekeeping. She falls in love with a colleague 10 years younger than her (Koike), and they begin living together. Each episode highlights the differences in their age, status, mindset, and values.

Miki Maya (45) will play the principal of the school. Nao Matsushita (24) and singer Ami Suzuki (27) have also been added to the cast. TBS has scheduled "Ohitorisama" for Friday nights at 10:00pm, starting on October 16.
