Kamenashi to star in Rumiko Takahashi adaptation

This winter, NTV is airing a drama adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi’s manga series “One-Pound Gospel.” The drama will star KAT-TUN’s Kazuya Kamenashi.

“One-Pound Gospel” combines sports, romance, and comedy. Kosaku Hatanaka (Kamenashi) is a skilled boxer who turned pro at the age of 19, but he finds himself facing a string of defeats due to his inability to control his appetite, which always puts him in a heavier weight class. One day after losing a match, he wanders into a church where he meets a naive, fledgling nun, and he immediately finds himself interested in her.

The series is scheduled for broadcast on Saturdays at 9:00pm, starting in January.
