Nagisa Saitō stars as Ayaka Tachibana, a woman who loses her single mother to cancer and tries to become the Empress of Ginza through its hostess clubs. Kurashina and Wake serialized the manga in Houbunsha's Weekly Manga Times from 1996 to 2001.","whyItMatters":"The franchise has already been adapted repeatedly across film, television, and stage, so the new Drama DiVE series is the latest version of a property that Japanese producers keep returning to rather than a fresh launch.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe manga ran in Houbunsha\u0026#39;s Weekly Manga Times from 1996 to 2001, written by Ryō Kurashina and drawn by Issaku Wake.
