Strawberry on the Shortcake (ストロベリー・オンザ・ショートケーキ)[1] is a Japanese romance television drama series which stars Hideaki Takizawa and Kyoko Fukada and aired on TBS in 2001.
It was written by Shinji Nojima, and directed by Nobuhiro Doi and Hiroshi Matsubara.
One day he meets a strange girl - Yui Misawa (Kyoko Fukada), who finds the tedium of everyday life unbearable, and teases Manato with her almost too upfront and honest manner.
While he struggles with his feelings for Yui, Manato begins to receive blue love letters in his shoe locker at school.
Meanwhile, Yui finds herself falling for senpai Saeki (Yōsuke Kubozuka), who in turn is having an affair with his teacher, Asami-sensei (Ishida Yuriko).
