[Tokyograph News]

TV Tokyo has announced a new drama series titled "Men-dol ~Ikemen Idol~." The show will star AKB48 members Haruna Kojima, Minami Takahashi, and Minami Minegishi, who recently formed together as the sub-unit No Sleeves.

The story revolves around three ordinary girls named Asahi, Nami, and Hinata who are aiming to become idols, but they repeatedly fail in their auditions. One day, they witness a serious crime, and they are forced to flee from the culprits. Fortunately, they are saved by a producer who is willing to let them debut, but they have to hide their true identities and dress up as boys instead.

The show's theme song will be "Relax!," the first single from No Sleeves. "Men-dol" will air in the late-night "Drama 24" time slot (Friday 12:12am), starting on October 10. The drama's official website is now open.
