Jotei's manga is set to return to television in a new live-action series premiering October 22 in YTV's late-night Drama DiVE block, starring Nagisa Saito as Ayaka Tachibana. Toko Inui performs the opening theme, "Tokyo City Night."
Jotei is a manga by Ryo Kurashina and Issaku Wake, serialized in Houbunsha's Weekly Manga Times from 1996 to 2001. The manga has passed 2.5 million copies in circulation. A new live-action television series based on it premieres October 22 in YTV's late-night Drama DiVE block, with Nagisa Saito playing Ayaka Tachibana, a woman who loses her single mother to cancer and tries to become the Empress of Ginza through its hostess clubs.
The newest adaptation comes after prior versions in film, television, and stage. The anime beat's interest in the project goes beyond the drama: Toko Inui, the Nijisanji VTuber, will sing the opening theme, "Tokyo City Night," from her second mini album One day, released October 7. Inui said she is happy to accompany a work loved by many.
Two things are settled as of the most recent stories: the premiere date and the tie-in song. Both the series announcement and the theme song story name October 22, and both name Saito in the lead. The manga's print figure is the only number attached to the work itself; the story of how the new adaptation came together, and who else is behind it, has not been reported here.
