is a 2022 Japanese television drama series starring Yukino Kishii and Issey Takahashi.[1] The series revolves around the relationship of two aromantic asexual people.
Koisenu Futari was produced under NHK and had three directors; Yudai Noguchi (episodes 2, 5, and 8), Yuta Oshida (episodes 1, 4, and 7), and Shohei Doi (episodes 3 and 6).[2]
Co-director Yuta Oshida came up with the idea for the story of Koisenu Futari after coming to the realization that Japanese television dramas often include romantic relationships and elements. This led to him learning about asexuality, with his research including interviewing asexual people. NHK staffers initially expressed skepticism when he pitched the show in May 2021, but ultimately they agreed that the show could work despite the lack of public knowledge about aromanticism and asexuality.[3]
Umitaro Abe provided the musical score for Koisenu Futari. The theme song for the television series by the pop band Chai.[2] [4]
Koisenu Futari premiered on NHK on 10 January 2022. It had eight episodes, with the last episode broadcast on 21 March 2022.[5]
