Various Japanese television dramas based on manga adaptations are scheduled for release in late 2026. One production, ‘Mame to Mugi’, is set to premiere on October 2 on TV Tokyo. The series features Asuka Saito and Miu Tomita as two women who collaborate to revitalize an izakaya. Another series, ‘Uso wo Tsuita Watashitachi’ (The Lies We Told), is scheduled to begin broadcasting in October 2026 across several networks, including TV Osaka, BS TV Tokyo, and TV Aichi. This romantic suspense story stars Miho Watanabe and Masahiro Sunada, following four childhood friends whose lives unravel after a marriage announcement. Following a press conference, the cast of ‘Uso o Tsuita Watashitachi’—including Miho Watanabe, Masahiro Sunada, Rina Asakawa, and Masashi Ikeda—discussed the psychological depth of their characters. Based on the manga by Tamai Sumino, the cast noted the contrast between the characters’ outward appearances and their inner vulnerabilities. While previous schedules indicated an October start, the cast noted the drama is scheduled to begin broadcasting on August 8.
