* ◆Comment from Sawako Fujima, who plays the role of Tsuzui-san* * “I have decided to play the role of Mr. Tsuzui.*
*Recently, it is said that one in five people are active in Oshikatsu. * * I read the original manga and found it really interesting and energizing. * * I’m surprised that this is not a myth, that such interesting people actually exist, and that such fun things are happening. I’m jealous. * * You can’t help but smile at the sight of these five pure people who can honestly say they like what they like, and while it makes them smile, it also makes them look strong. *
* I’m currently filming, and I can’t help but have so much fun shooting every day! *
* I forget that I am an adult and play with everyone so seriously that my muscles hurt. *
* Mr. Tsuzui is full of humor. Mr. Tsuzui is warm and straightforward. * * I get a lot of inspiration from acting every day. *
* Also, pay attention to Mr. Tsuzui, his unique and adorable friends, M-chan, Mr. Okazaki, Tachibana, and Zofuda!
I hope to bring happiness to everyone who watches it. I will do my best. ”* * ◆Original work/Mr. Tsuzui’s comment*
* “Hello, I’m Tsuzui!
This time, I was asked to dramatize my (our) fun little everyday life, and I was as surprised as ever in my life, thinking, “This is what life can be like.” I am blessed with this opportunity because of all the people around me, including my readers who always support me, my funny friends, my kind editor, and my family. And a little bit of it is my own hard work and luck♪) Thank you so much!
I’m looking forward to watching it in front of the TV with my friends! ”* Tsuzui self-portrait

*Tsuzui*
His picture diary, which he started publishing on Twitter (currently known as X) in October 2014, has become a hot topic. In 2017, her debut work “Fujoshi no Tsuzui-san” was selected as a recommended work for the “20th Japan Media Arts Festival.” 2019 “Naked Consistency! Tsuzui-san” won the Grand Prize at the 3rd Manga Newspaper Awards.

* ◆Comment from Yomiuri TV producer Soto Tabuchi*
“Mr. Tsuzui is a “real person” who enjoys life freely as an ordinary otaku with his friends from his previous life, so if you look at Sawako Fujima, who is active across genres as a master of dramas, movies, and Japanese dance, you can see how she lives her life. In fact, I was moved by his passionate performance with earphones stuck in his nostrils.
I also thought that Tsuzui-san’s core strength, which he has trained in Japanese dance, would be a perfect match for, the strongest sumo wrestler. lol”
