Okada Masaki to star in "Mirai Nikki - Another: World - "

FujiTV's Sat 11pm timeslot which boasted hit dramas such as "Life", "Liar Game" and "SP" will be making a comeback in April for the first time in two years. The first drama to be launched will be "Mirai Nikki - Another: World -" starring Okada Masaki. This is the 2nd time Okada is playing a lead role in a drama featured in the same timeslot following Otomen three years ago.

The drama is based on a manga by Esuno Sakae which has sold more than 4 million copies to date. The manga series ran from 2006 to 2011 and features Okada as Hoshino Shinta, an university student (in the manga, it's a junior high student) who gets a mirai nikki (diary of the future) and is shocked at his bleak future. He strives to do things to change the course of his future and gets involved in a survival game with other people who also hold the diaries.
