"Nakuna, Hara-chan" manga artist to appear in last episode of the drama


Bibuo, the manga artist responsible for all the drawings in NTV Winter 2013 drama "Nakuna, Hara-chan" will be appearing in the last episode of the drama on 23 March. He will play the role of Ohashi's son who always gets talked about by the part-timers working in Funamaru Suisan. Bibuo revealed that he didn't tell anyone about his drama appearance and joked that nobody would notice it if he does not say a thing.

As this is his first drama appearance, Bibuo was understandably nervous but he was encouraged by Nagase Tomoya's comment that he did well. Bibuo also said that it was great that his work became well-known through this drama as he wasn't doing very well in the past with few job offers coming his way. As a result of the drama's fame, he started to get illustration jobs and hopes to be able to launch his own manga series soon.

At the same time, the scenario book which contains all the manga drawings and is titled "Nakuna, Hara-chan Scenario BOOK" will be released on 21 March which is rare because such books don't get published until the drama is over. The scriptwriter Okada Yoshikazu said that viewers will be able to relive the moments of the drama and find new ways to enjoy the story through this scenario book. He also called upon viewers not to forget Hara-chan even after the drama ends.
