Actor Ryo Yoshizawa (Kamen Rider Fourze, Daily Lives of High School Boys) will star in the drama and stage adaptation of Ranjō Miyake's Bussen manga as the monk-in-training Shōsuke Tamura.
The manga centers on a Buddhist temple that opens the "Bussen" Buddhist vocational school to try to escape its financial difficulties. The school recruits students from around Japan who were not able to pass any of their high school entrance examinations and have been left behind by other schools. A neighboring rich temple sends in the airheaded and clumsy monk-in-training Shōsuke Tamura as a spy at Bussen.
The drama will have 10 episodes and will air starting on July 16. The stage adaptation will play for 16 shows between November 6-17 at Tokyo's Akasaka ACT Theater.
