Asami Mizukawa (26) will star in a special drama project titled "Inu no Omawarisan," being broadcast by TBS this summer. The drama is based on a book of the same name, compiled from a personal blog by a woman named Mayumi Oishi, who died at the age of 24.
Mizukawa plays the young woman, who lives happily with her husband and her daughter. While pregnant with her second child, she falls ill with cancer, leading to her death shortly after she gives birth.
While she was alive, Oishi wrote in her blog about her fight against the cancer, which was diagnosed in February 2008. She was hospitalized and underwent treatment during her pregnancy, and she gave birth four months later. She passed away five months after that.
The "Inu no Omawarisan" dramatization will have Masaru Nagai (31) playing Mizukawa's husband. TBS plans to broadcast the episode sometime in July.
