MURAI in LOVE

Murai (Ryubi Miyase), a clever high school student with long dark hair, is deeply in love with his cold homeroom teacher Tanaka (Hikaru Takahashi). After Tanaka dismisses his romantic intentions and criticizes his appearance, Murai discovers her secret obsession with a video game character named Hitotose from "Feudal Era Love Scroll." Surprisingly, Murai transforms himself to look exactly like Hitotose, complete with bleached blonde hair, challenging Tanaka's resistance to his advances. This unexpected transformation sets the stage for a unique romantic pursuit that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy. Based on a popular manga series by Junta Shima, "MURAI in LOVE" explores an unconventional student-teacher dynamic with comedic and unexpected twists. This is a 2022 Japanese drama series directed by Yamamoto Daisuke and Matsuki Aya.
