TOKYO —

Actresses Yu Yamada, Nana Eikuchi and actor Hiro Mizushima are all in their 20s but that doesn’t stop them from playing school students in Fuji TV’s new drama “Mei-chan no shitsuji.”

The romantic comedy is based on a girls’ comic of the same name, and set at an exclusive girls’ high school where each student has their own personal - and charming - butler.

Mizushima, 24, plays an attractive butler who serves a high school girl played by Eikuchi, 20, and helps shape her into a refined young woman. Eikuchi said she was a bit embarrassed about her role in which her every need and want is catered for.

Yamada, 24, who also plays one of the high school girls, said: “I enjoyed my role. I think it’s the last time I’ll be playing a high school student, and the uniform is quite a sight, so don’t miss it!”

“Mei-chan no shitsuji” will air on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. from Tuesday

The photo does not do justice to her. Watch her in the Canada Dry and sunscreen commercials. Yummy.

I think she is attractive having seen her in other contexts, but Yu's head looks huge in this picture for some reason.

May i...?

I think all women are crazy ! Why in earth does all females think they have to look so fatty ? Fat is ok, but wow, I think that goes a little too big.

Would you say that if you look at a "big" woman, like japanese female pro-wrestlers or at many american "big women" ?

Its not always about boulimie or anorexia...so lets the nature do !

Poor article editing once again? Or just can't read the kanji in the original Japanese articles?

Who is "Nana Eikuchi"?

There is, however, an actress named "Nana EIKURA"
