Keiko Suenobu's Ochitara Owari manga, a psychological drama about a housewife's social climb in a high-rise, is being adapted into a live-action television series. Chukyo TV announced the project in May 2026, with a premiere date of July 1 on Chukyo TV, NTV, and affiliates. Former AKB-48 member Mariko Shinoda and announcer Misato Ugaki star as the leads.
In June 2026, three additional cast members were announced: Aimi Satsukawa, Kei Fubuki, and Sarina Suzuki. Their roles fill out the ensemble around the two leads, setting the social dynamics of the story about housewife friendships and hidden tensions. Taeko Asano writes the scripts. The series airs in the Wednesday Platinum Night timeslot.
