It's been reported that actress Matsushima Nanako will be starring in a new drama called "Kaseifu no Mita". It's her first drama series in two years, and she'll be playing a role different from her usual parts.

Matsushima, who's known for her 'nadeshiko' characters in the past, will play the role of 'Mita Akari', a quiet, impassive, and cold-blooded housekeeper. She expressed, "I'm excited to see how everyone will view my character."

In the drama, Mita observes the problems that occur in her workplace from an objective point of view. Yet, she solves every problem with an expressionless, cool-headed mindset. While Mita delivers an almighty 120% customer satisfaction rate, her age is unknown, she has no family, and she chooses her jobs herself.

The script is written by Yukawa Kazuhiko. Matsushima stated, "I've worked with Yukawa-san in 'GTO' and 'Majo no Jouken', but this will be the first home drama," showing her excitement on the challenge of the new genre.

Meanwhile, Yukawa commented, "I'm excited for everyone to see this terrifying side of Matsushima-san that nobody has seen before."

"Kaseifu no Mita" will air every Wednesday from 10:00 PM starting in October.
