Unexpectedly Naughty Fukami

Unexpectedly Naughty Fukami (やたらやらしい深見くん, Yatara Yarashii Fukami-kun) is a 2026 Japanese workplace BL romantic comedy adapted from Ayaka Matsumoto's ongoing manga of the same name. At its centre is Kaji Akihiro (Kashio Atsuki), a sales department ace admired across his Tokyo office for his looks, his charm and his effortless way with clients. What his colleagues never see is the private arithmetic behind that smile: Kaji secretly ranks everyone he meets on a numerical attractiveness scale, and almost nobody clears the bar. Sitting well below it is Yu Fukami (Yu Miyazaki), a quiet, unremarkable coworker he has barely registered in years of sharing the same floor.

When a manager pairs the two for an overnight business trip, Kaji resigns himself to two forgettable days of polite small talk. The trip does not go that way. Away from the office, an after-hours conversation reveals that Fukami holds the same guarded, faintly cynical view of love and casual attachment Kaji has spent years perfecting. What starts as curiosity between two people who each pride themselves on feeling nothing slowly, clumsily, turns into something neither will name aloud. Back in Tokyo the scoring system stops working, Fukami's daytime blankness starts to look deliberate, and every attempt to keep things casual only tightens the knot.

Directed by Emiko Shirai from a screenplay by Nao Shioji and produced by Kazuhiro Ito, the ten-episode late-night miniseries premiered on Tokyo MX on 7 April 2026 and ran weekly through its 9 June finale. Its short episodes keep the register light and quick, closer to office farce than melodrama.
