Tomoya Oku leads the live-action drama The Summer of You, which streams on U-NEXT and airs on TV Tokyo, and plays Komei Konan in Hulu's The Murder in the Water Mill House, set for March 2027.
Tomoya Oku's coverage in these stories is built on two lead roles. The first is The Summer of You, the live-action adaptation of Nagisa Furuya's boys love manga, where Oku and Kazuto Mokudai star as the two leads. The series streams on U-NEXT from June 24 and airs on TV Tokyo from July 1.
The drama's release was followed in October 2026 by the Kimi wa Natsu no Naka Memorial Book from Shinko Music Entertainment, a 104-page volume tied to the TV Tokyo drama. It carries 60 pages of newly shot gravure of Oku and Mokudai, a long talk between the two, and a sacred sites pilgrimage map, alongside interviews with Furuya, screenwriter You Saito, directors Kozue Sasaki and Shun Haga, and producers Takaya Chiba and Kozue Sasaki.
Separately, Oku is cast in Hulu's The Murder in the Water Mill House, the third live-action adaptation in Yukito Ayatsuji's House series, announced on September 28 for a March 2027 stream. Oku plays Komei Konan, a character who does not appear in the original novel, with Takamasa Aoki as Kiyoshi Shimada. Ayatsuji, director Teru Uchikata, and screenwriter Masashi Toda released comments with the announcement. The two roles run on different tracks: one is a completed BL drama with a tie-in book already on sale, the other is a mystery adaptation still ahead of its stream.
