Netflix has confirmed that Kento Nakajima will take the lead role in the upcoming adaptation of Kisei Tada’s acclaimed manga S&X. The series, which delves into themes of intimacy and modern relationships, is directed by Shogo Kusano and produced by Mariko Seto and Daisuke Saitoh.

Author Kisei Tada expressed excitement about the adaptation, stating, “While writing the manga, I focused on the idea that individuals don’t have to face sexual concerns alone and that support is available. I am eager to see how Kento Nakajima will portray this complex character.”

Kento Nakajima shared his enthusiasm for the project, noting, “Shimotori’s careful attention to his patients’ emotions and his empathetic approach reminded me of my own process in making music. I felt ready for this challenge, which inspired me to accept the role.”

Producer Mariko Seto added, “This story addresses sexuality and emotional struggles directly. Sexual concerns are unique to each person. Instead of following trends that label things as right or wrong, I hope the series highlights the importance of listening and supporting others.”

Director Shogo Kusano commented, “Just as Shimotori supports his clients through their challenges, we aimed to create a series that stands by the audience and their concerns.”
