A Special Edition of 'Wave, Lovers Weather' to Stream on FOD
Fuji Television has announced that its special edition of 'Wave, Lovers Weather,' titled 'Wave, Lovers Weather: Takimasa's No Problem!? Edition,' will begin exclusive streaming on FOD Premium on Thursday, June 26, at 22:54. This exciting new chapter promises to deepen the romantic narrative featuring the beloved characters of Natsumi (played by Kyoko Yoshine) and Takimasa (played by Hiroya Honda).
This special edition unfolds during the winter of Showa 11 (1936), following Natsumi and Takimasa's wedding night. After an absence due to his naval duties, Takimasa eagerly anticipates returning to Natsumi. His colleague, Ryunosuke Fukami (Yuta Koseki), also wants to witness their reunion and decides to accompany him home. However, as they arrive, Natsumi is out shopping for dinner, leaving her three sisters—Harue (Kanna Mori), Akina (Miyu Saki), and the youngest, Fuyuko (Aya Ogawa from Nogizaka46)—to greet the two men instead.
Yet, Harue and Akina are under the impression that Natsumi and Takimasa have yet to consummate their marriage. Concerned, they begin questioning Takimasa, suspecting there might be a reason for the delay. Unaware of their suspicions, Takimasa finds himself distracted by Fuyuko's behavior, inadvertently raising the sisters' doubts about his fidelity or potential issues like debt. Meanwhile, Fukami observes and decides to use a kendama to prove that Takimasa is not the type to hide secrets or tell lies.
The special edition will showcase light-hearted interactions among the quirky characters in the absence of Natsumi, offering a glimpse into the lively household. Viewers will witness scenes not elaborated upon in the main storyline while enjoying the comedic undertones as Takimasa strives to assert his pure love for Natsumi to her sisters before her return.
The main series, which broadcasts every Thursday from 22:00 to 22:54, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling of newlywed life in pre-war Japan, based on the popular manga by Hachi Nishi, which has sold over a million copies since its serialization began in October 2022 on the comic app 'Comic DAYS.'
As the anticipation builds for the premiere of the special episode right after the series finale, fans are encouraged to tune in and see how Takimasa navigates this comedic yet heartfelt situation and whether he can prove his love before Natsumi arrives back home.
