It is confirmed today that Ren Nagase, a 23-year-old member of Johnny & Associates’ boy idol group King & Prince, will star in the forthcoming live-action TV drama adaptation of Shinobu Kaitani’s sci-fi school thug manga Shin Shinchokoki ~ Nobunaga-kun to Watashi~ (The New Official History of Nobunaga: Nobunaga and Me).
Nagase is cast as Nobunaga Oda, an eccentric character who wears a strange school uniform that incorporates Western culture and is constantly eating something.
Please look forward to my portrayal of Nobunaga Oda, including what thoughts and feelings are hidden behind his character!”
