The staff for the live-action television series of Sanami Suzuki’s Hokusai to Meshi Saeareba (English title The meal with Hokusai or literally, All You Need Is A Meal with Hokusai) cooking manga revealed the series’ lead actress and January premiere on the MBS and TBS on Wednesday.
Hokusai to Meshi Saeareba takes place eight years before Hokusai to Meshi.
Suzuki originally launched a Hokusai to Meshi manga in Kadokawa’s Samurai A magazine in 2012, but the manga ended at one volume after Samurai A stopped its publication.
Suzuki then relaunched the manga in the debut issue of Young Magazine the 3rd in September 2014 under the Hokusai to Meshi Saeareba title.
