The official website for the Rent-A-Girlfriend live-action series announced on Wednesday, June 1, 2022, that fashion model Shiori Akita will star as Kazuya’s former girlfriend, Mami Nanami.
She shared her thoughts on playing Mami-chan, saying, “I hope that the drama will retain the charm of the original manga while conveying its unique and interesting aspects. I have never played a character like this before, so I am trying to find my way through trial and error every day while filming. I would be happy if you look at Asami and think,’ I hate her!’ (Laughs). “
The previously revealed main cast includes Tokyo Ghoul live-action fame Hiyori Sakurada and Naniwa Danshi idol group member Ryusei Onishi as Mizuhara Chizuru and Kazuya Kinoshita respectively.
