It’s Strictly Business
What happens
It's Strictly Business (Japanese: 営業ですから, Eigyou desu kara) is a Japanese boys' love television drama that began on BS Fuji on Thursday 5 November 2026 at 24:30, in a half-hour late-night slot. The 24:30 listing on the broadcast clock means each episode airs at 12:30 in the early hours of Friday and runs until 1:00.
Ashihara Ren, played by Sota Uemura, is a university student who wants to be popular. He pretends to be in a relationship with Kuji Issei, played by Rio Takahashi and described as the most handsome boy on campus, and treats the act as a sales strategy that will attract girls. The arrangement holds until Issei kisses him for real, and from then on it is unclear whether the relationship is still an act.
Uiko Miura writes, and Kozue Sasaki and Kana Urara direct. The Eigyou desu kara Production Committee is the credited producer. The drama adapts Miyuki Mitsubachi's manga of the same name, published by Hakusensha in its Hanamaru Comics Premium line. It is the first adaptation of Mitsubachi's work.
BS Fuji broadcasts new episodes on Thursdays. FOD holds an uncut version exclusively, and TVer offers catch-up from the following day, 6 November, for viewers who miss the broadcast.
