She sits next to Seki in class and is frequently distracted by the games he plays on his desk.Each of the eight 30-minute episodes in the program will be split in half between My Neighbor Seki and Rumi’s Phenomenon.

The show will also air on Tuesdays on TBS.Yūtarō Watanabe, who made his debut in the Itsutsu Kazoreba Kimi no Yume film, will star as Toshinari Seki, or Seki-kun in the My Neighbor Seki half of the show. Shiori Tomita, a singer and the fifth MC of the variety show saku saku, will play Rumi Ikuno, or Rumi-chan in the Rumi’s Phenomenon half of the show.Toru Hosokawa (Polar Bear’s Café, Baka Mukashi Banashi Gekijōban ~Jijii Wars~) is writing the My Neighbor Seki half of the television series and directing it with Katsutoshi Hirabayashi.
