Sho Hirano Becomes a Scammer in new live-action series

TBS has revealed that they are working on a new live-action series adaptation “Kurosagi – The Black Swindler”  manga of authors Takeshi Natsuhara and Kuromaru.

Male singer Sho Hirano, a member of the boy band King & Prince, will play the main character Koshiro Kurosaki.

Kenta Tanaka, Yasuharu Ishii and Shunichi Hirano will direct the series, with a script by Eriko Shinozaki.

The series is slated to air in October 2022.

Six years ago, Kurosaki’s family was destroyed when a “shirosagi” (a “white swindler”, who focuses on defrauding others) swindled Kurosaki’s father of their family’s life savings. As a result, his father killed Kurosaki’s mother and sister before committing suicide. Since then, Kurosaki has devoted himself to becoming a “kurosagi” (“black swindler”), who swindles other swindlers, as a means of revenge.

As a “kurosagi,” Kurosaki’s acts have helped innocent victims of swindling schemes get their money back. However, he is frequently met with opposition by a stubborn grad student, who seeks to become a prosecutor.
