My Personal Weatherman (Japanese: 体感予報, Hepburn: Taikan Yohō, lit. "Bodily Sensation Forecast") is a Japanese manga series by Nikke Taino. It is serialized in the manga website Comic CMoa since November 21, 2020. A live-action television drama adaptation was broadcast from August 11, 2023, to October 13, 2023, for Drama Shower, a programming block created by MBS in collaboration with Tunku, Kadokawa Corporation's label for live-action boys' love television dramas.

Plot

Shy, introverted Yoh is a struggling ero-manga artist living with his senior from college, Mizuki Segasaki, a popular weatherman from the weather television program Everyday Weather. As a result of living together, Yoh knows Segasaki's true self to be nothing like the gentle and friendly persona that he shows on television. Yoh believes their relationship to be similar to a "slave contract", where Segasaki agrees to give him food and shelter in exchange for housework. This leads Yoh to feel confused whenever Segasaki teases and dotes on him. Segasaki, on the other hand, has always loved Yoh and is patiently waiting for him to return his feelings.

Characters

Yoh Tanada (棚田 葉, Tanada Yō)
Portrayed by: Atsuki Mashiko[2]
Yoh is a shy yet struggling manga artist who draws primarily in the ero-manga genre.[2] His pen name is Dayo (ダヨ). He is concerned over how his manga has received negative reviews.[3]
Mizuki Segasaki (瀬ヶ崎 瑞貴, Segasaki Mizuki)
Portrayed by: Kouhei Higuchi[2]
Segasaki is a handsome, popular weatherman featured on the weather television program Everyday Weather.[2] He is Yoh's senior from college, and unlike the charming personality he portrays in public, Yoh knows him to be selfish.[2]
Man (万さん, Man-san)
Portrayed by: Sayuri Matsumura[4]
Known by her pen name Manjū (万十), Man is Yoh's older friend who is an otaku and a dojinshi artist.[4] She has a positive personality.[4] Man is also a huge fan of Segasaki.[3] In the television drama adaptation, she is given the full name Kanami Matsudaira (松平 可奈美, Matsudaira Kanami).[4]

Media

Manga

My Personal Weatherman is written and illustrated by Nikke Taino. It is serialized in the manga website Comic CMoa since November 21, 2020, by NTT Solmare under the Ficus label.[5] The chapters were later released in a bound volume by Libre under the BBC Deluxe imprint.[6] NTT Solmare also released the series in English digitally through MangaPlaza.[1]

In 2023, Taino stated in an interview with Comic CMoa that the concept of the story came from the idea that eroticism can be found in situations outside of sexual activity, which is shown in how Yoh feels aroused at the thought of sunny days.[3] Taino also said because the manga was originally drawn with the intention of it being performed at an event by voice actors, they decided to focus on having implicit sexual depictions instead of more explicit scenes.[3] The story was temporarily given the title Outside of Sex (えっちの外側, Ecchi no Sotogawa) prior to finalization.[3] Taino's favorite scene in My Personal Weatherman is when Segasaki takes care of Yoh after the latter loses his job in chapter 3, such as when Segasaki helps Yoh drink through mouth-to-mouth transfer.[3]

Television drama

A live-action television drama adaptation of My Personal Weatherman was announced in July 2023.[1][2] It was broadcast on MBS from August 11, 2023,[lower-alpha 1] to October 13, 2023, as part of their Drama Shower, a programming block created by MBS and Tunku (a label of Kadokawa Corporation specializing in live-action boys' love television dramas).[2] In addition to MBS, the series was also broadcast on TV Kanagawa, Gunma TV, Tochigi TV, TV Saitama, and Chiba TV.[1] Overseas, it is streamed with English subtitles on GagaOOLala.[8] The series is directed by Ayaka Katō, Shinju Funabiki, and Emi Yasumura.[1] Natsuki Takahashi and Shinju Funabiki are in charge of writing the script.[1] Ryō Watanabe and Shifumi Kōchi are in charge of music composition.[1] The series consists of 8 episodes, including an original story written by the series creator, Nikke Taino.[2]

The series stars Kouhei Higuchi as Mizuki Segasaki and Genic member Atsuki Mashiko as Yoh Tanada.[1] The two had previously co-starred in Avataro Sentai Donbrothers VS Zenkaiger, a crossover between Avataro Sentai Donbrothers and Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger.[9] Additional cast members include Sayuri Matsumura as Kanami Matsudaira (Man) and Atomu Mizuishi as Atsuya Matsudaira, an original character made for the television drama who serves as Man's husband.[4] The opening theme song is "Träumerei" by Gang Parade,[4][10] and the ending theme song is "Nostalgia" by Absolute Area.

The role of Segasaki was Higuchi's second starring role after Avataro Sentai Donbrothers.[11] He expressed that the role of Segasaki was challenging for him because the character was a "good-looking guy" and that he was worried about conveying the character's charms to fans of the manga.[11] To draw out Segasaki's "sexiness" and "coolness", Higuchi stated that he was careful about using his voice in a way that would show sex appeal.[11][12] In preparation for his role, he studied about weather through reference books and learning from a weather forecaster.[11] Higuchi and Mashiko also stated that several intimate scenes were created "on the spot" during filming.[12]
