My secret is that I can read other people's minds through their scent...
Co-starring Yuika Kuren and Tainai Fujibayashi
A live-action drama adaptation of a heart-fluttering office romance about a mind-reading woman who can read other people's hearts through scent, and her colleague, who is cool on the outside but can’t stop fantasizing about her in his head!!!
BS TV Tokyo has announced that “The Dry Colleague’s Spoiling Habit” will begin airing on Wednesday, July 8, 2026 (every Wednesday from midnight to 12:30 a.m.).
First released as an e-comic in 2022, the hit series by Aoi Peki drew attention for its irresistibly heart-fluttering romance between the two leads. This live-action drama adaptation follows Ayame Hanazawa, a woman who can read minds through a person’s scent but is somewhat hesitant when it comes to romance, and her colleague Sui Miyajima, who is neat freak, expressionless, and cool, yet whose heart Ayame cannot read. When Ayame happens to read Miyajima’s mind, she discovers that beneath his dry exterior he is actually a pervert who lovingly fantasizes about her...! The story depicts the two of them, each awkward in love, as they take a step forward, alongside the human relationships surrounding them. Please look forward to this heart-fluttering office romance in the style of BS TV Tokyo, a network renowned for romantic dramas!
Yuika Kuren × Tainai Fujibayashi, co-starring
One half of the dual leads, playing Ayame Hanazawa, a woman with the unusual ability to hear people’s inner voices from their “scent,” is the much-anticipated actress Yuika Kuren, who rose to popularity as a top female performer of the Moon Troupe in the Takarazuka Revue thanks to her outstanding dance skills and exceptional expressiveness, and since leaving the troupe has appeared in many buzzworthy works including the drama “Revenge Spy” (TV Asahi), “Professional Insurance Investigator: Ren Amane” (Fuji TV), and the Sunday Theater drama “GIFT” (TBS). This will be her first drama as a co-lead.
The other co-lead, playing Sui Miyajima, Ayame’s colleague, a cool and “super dry” man whose cleanliness obsession means Ayame cannot read his mind, is Tainai Fujibayashi, who first gained popularity for his role as Kurogane Spanner / Valvarad in the drama “Kamen Rider Gotchard” (TV Asahi) and has since appeared in works such as the drama “Jofu ~ Is ×××× Necessary for Women? ~” (TV Tokyo) and the stage play “Chushingura.” A multi-talented performer with a steady stream of roles, Fujibayashi has been chosen for this production!
