A comprehensive trailer has been released for the upcoming live-action adaptation of the manga series "Issho ni Gohan wo Taberu dake" (roughly "Just Eating Together") by Omachi Terasu. The clip, made available on June 21, 2026, via TVer, has a length of over 100 seconds and shows moving scenes from the series for the first time. It features lead actress Akari Hayami as Takki Sawada and Kentaro Ito as Rei Saito cooking and enjoying meals together—captured between happy moments and emotional conflicts. The line "Anything more would be hell" underscores the tense emotional state of the characters.
Alongside the new visuals, the theme songs have been announced. The opening melody is contributed by the band Offo tokyo with the piece "Darlin'." The group, which emerged from the creative collective Offo in 2021 and made their major debut in 2025 with "Your Song," blends city pop with soul, rock, and hip-hop. The song was specifically designed for the series to "gently accompany the wavering emotions of the characters," according to the musicians.
The ending melody is provided by the rock duo This is LAST from Kashiwa, consisting of Yoho Kikuchi (vocals, guitar) and Teruna Kanomata (drums). The track "Paradox," written by Kikuchi, deals with the conflict between right decisions and actual actions—a theme that picks up on the drama's plot. The song was already publicly previewed in the trailer; the full opening, on the other hand, will only be heard in the first episode.
The series is based on the manga of the same name by Omachi Terasu, which ran from January 2023 to January 2026 in Kodansha's Comic Days app and was completed in four collected volumes. The story revolves around married cooking teacher Takki Sawada, who feels misunderstood in her marriage because her husband places little value on shared meals. Meanwhile, editor Rei Saito struggles with his wife, who always serves him ready-made meals. When the two meet through a work project, they discover a deep connection while cooking together—and become entangled in a web of affection, guilt, and moral questions.
The drama starts on July 2, 2026, on Japanese television. It will air on Thursdays at midnight on TV Tokyo and its affiliated stations TV Aichi, TV Setouchi, TV Hokkaido, and TVQ Kyushu Broadcasting. From July 7, it will follow on BS TV Tokyo on Tuesdays at the same time. The first episode will also be made available as an exclusive stream on the platform U-NEXT after its TV premiere; time-shifted offerings are available via TVer, the TV Tokyo website, and Lemino.
The adaptation is produced by TV Tokyo in collaboration with Office Crescende. The directors are Kei Yoshino, Dan Ogawa, and Yusuke Inoue, with the screenplay written by Miho Aotsuka and Rin Shuto. Alongside the lead actors, the ensemble includes Ren Kiriyama, Asuka Kishi, Hiroaki Iwanaga, Chizuru Asano, Otoha Kubo, and Miki Maya.
