The synopsis and still images for the sixth episode of the NTV drama series "Tsukiyo Koro - The Answer Lies in Masterpieces -" (Wednesdays at 10 PM), starring Haru and Kumiko Aso, have been released. The episode will air on May 13th.
Through her journey with Luna (Haru), Ryoko (Aso) learns the shocking truth hidden behind her breakup with her ex-boyfriend Kazuto (Ryuto Sakuma) 23 years ago, and the real reason Luna took her along. Even after learning everything, Ryoko and Luna vow to remain friends.
A month had passed since then. The two, having returned to their peaceful daily lives, were chatting at the bar "Marquee Moon" in Ginza. That's when Luna's cousin, Masayoshi (played by Kentaro Tamura), appeared. He had a message from Luna's mother asking him to decipher the password to her father's computer. The only clue was an image of the first edition of "I Am a Cat" set as the desktop background.
Seeking clues, Luna, accompanied by Detective Tamura (Shuntaro Yanagi), visits a long-established used bookstore. However, they find the owner, Kurata (Masato Ibu), lying on the ground bleeding from his head. Expensive antique books and cash are missing from the scene, leading them to believe it was a robbery. But Luna notices a certain "oddity" at the scene...
The drama is a thrilling literary road mystery based on the novel of the same name by mystery writer Rikako Akiyoshi, known for works such as "Snow Flower" and "Absolute Justice." The script is written by Yukako Shimizu, who also wrote the drama "Reversal Orchestra" and the film "Arrogance and Kindness," while the directors are Shunpei Marutani, who wrote the dramas "119 Emergency Call" and "Complete Adultery," and Hiroto Akashi, who wrote "Ikinarikon."
