New adaptation of Natsume Soseki's classic novel; scaling Mount Everest; CM of the week: Parco
Natsume Soseki's novel, "Botchan," has been adapted many times over the years, but it has been 20 years since it was last done for television. To celebrate the 100th year since the writer died, Fuji TV is presenting a brand new production of the classic story (Sunday, 9 p.m.) starring Arashi's Kazuya Ninomiya as the main character, a rambunctious, emotional young man whose name we never hear since he is the story's narrator. He's simply known as "Botchan" (young master).
