Really? There was nothing on either Ryo or Maki's DramaWiki pages. And while I actually like Ryo, I'm not sure he fits the role of Sano? But we'll see if this rumor turns out to be true. (I wonder who'll be playing Nakatsu and Taiki though ~ ♥)

As for Tego as Otani -- err, sorry but I'll have to disagree. To be honest, I don't really care much for Tego (I'm sorry!) but Otani is basically my ideal shoujo manga leading male (except, you know, he's short). Massu I like, but I'm not sure he'd do a good Otani, despite his cheerfulness and his cute smile. I think by now I will have a hard time accepting anyone who's not Teppei playing Otani. :p
