Get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions this fall with TV Tokyo’s brand-new drama Synanthrope, set to air on October 6, 2025. This eight-episode youth mystery series, packed with love, betrayal, and suspense, features the talented Mizukami Koshi and Yamada Anna as the leading duo, bringing a fresh energy to the screen.
The drama is set in a small burger shop aptly named "Synanthrope," where eight young people navigate their dreams, friendships, and deep secrets. Mizukami Koshi takes the role of university student Tonari Kennosuke, who harbours a quiet love for his part-time coworker, Mizumachi Kotomi, played by Yamada Anna.
But when a mysterious robbery strikes the shop, the serene atmosphere of their daily lives is upended. Relationships begin to distort, and everything they thought they knew about each other starts to unravel.

Created and written by the brilliant Kazutaka Konomoto, known for his work on Odd Taxi and Kamikiru-KAMI KILL-, the story promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats with its intricate narrative and thrilling dialogue.
Directed by Seita Yamagishi, who has helmed works like Kamisama no Ekohiiki and Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai, the drama promises to blend mystery, romance, and suspense in a way that will captivate audiences.
The production's visuals are already intriguing, with the teaser showing the neon-lit Synanthrope burger shop – a seemingly ordinary place where things aren’t as they seem. The small-town vibe feels genuine, yet there's an underlying sense of unease as the characters' complicated lives become entangled in the robbery's aftermath.
