This is Kamimura’s first leading role in a TV drama. “Serufu is clumsy and always makes mistakes, but the way she tries so hard to do her best is so adorable. I loved her the moment I saw her,” she said. “I feel that she has many things in common with myself, such as the fact that I often daydream, and I am very happy to be able to play this role! Through the story of the gradual growth of the members of the DIY club, I hope that many people will experience the appeal of the DIY drama and the fun of making things in DIY!”
