The primary male cast for the new “Hanazakari no Kimitachi e ~ Ikemen Paradise” drama series was made public on Thursday. Lead actress and AKB48 member Maeda Atsuko (19) will have Nakamura Aoi (20) and Miura Shohei (23) as the two other sides of the story’s love triangle, and at least 26 other young male actors will round out the cast.
This drama remake was announced by Fuji TV last month, with Maeda replacing Maki Horikita (22) from the original 2007 series. Nakamura and Miura are likewise taking over the roles that were played by Oguri Shun (28) and Ikuta Toma (26).
Newspapers have also reported Yamada Shintaro (24) and Sato Yuki (27) as cast members. Based on a poster image from the Sankei Sports newspaper, the rest of the cast seems to include:
