About Mysterious Transfer Student
Iwata Koichi and Kagawa Midori are second-year students at Tozaiyama High School. One day, while coming home from school, they discover a shooting star rising up in the sky. The next day, Midori sees a shining figure in school and everyone on the school grounds starts talking about a ghost. At that point, a mysterious transfer student called Yamazawa Norio suddenly arrives at the school.
Directed by Taku Mayumura, Mysterious Transfer Student leans on a strong ensemble — Aoi Nakamura, Kanata Hongo, Haruna Muranaka — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2014.
