The Japanese drama《The Story of a Boat》is adapted from Miura Shion's novel《The Story of a Boat》.The story follows Midori Kishibe, a magazine editor, who was transferred to the dictionary editorial department after a popular fashion magazine was abandoned.

Ikeda plays Kishi, who gradually finds the pride and value of making dictionaries, while Noda plays Mitsuya Ma, the director of the dictionary editorial department who loves books extremely and is serious about his work.The original work has Ma Di as the protagonist. This play will depict the editorial staff's struggle to compile the dictionary - Daduhai - from the perspective of the shore.

As for the original work——

To dramatize the story, a staff member interviewed existing dictionary editing departments.We sincerely thank all dictionary editors from each company for their cooperation.

Currently, the crew is working hard with great enthusiasm to build a new “ship”.When I read the script written by screenwriter Hita Naomi, I laughed and cried.It seems that many good-looking and talented actors have boarded this ship.

Huge thanks to all the crew and cast.I'm really looking forward to seeing people working on creating a new dictionary in the show.

The TV series《The Story of a Boat》is about to set sail on the wind and waves.I think it will be a funny and touching piece that will make you realize that dictionaries and the people who make them are really interesting.
