Kimura will play the role of 30-year-old Mikuriya Shizuru, a SPEC holder who wears a bandage on her right eye. Having an IQ of 230 and being a graduate of Harvard University, Shizuru is unstable mentally due to a past trauma and has the tendency to hurt herself. On the other hand, Matsuda plays Takakura Hiroyo who is a detective at the public security section of Metropolitan Police Department but becomes wanted by his team as he got involved in a case related to SPEC holders. Despite having a strong sense of justice, he is unable to fit in with his surroundings and can be tactlessly honest at times.
Kimura commented that when she first got the offer, she wasn't sure if she could handle this role. However, she made up her mind as she felt assured by the presence of the staff and her partner Matsuda who expressed his faith in this drama as one which they were given a huge degree of freedom to play their characters.

Ninomae Ito - Kuroshima Yuina (Time-related SPEC holder who is related to Ninomae Juuichi)

Soooo does this mean each episode will take a month to be released? Because I read an article from cinematoday.jp that said the same thing about 1-2 minutes of each episode being released per day... Wouldn't that take months then? :o
It does seem like one episode will be shown per month. The thing is, they didn't even confirm how many episodes it will be. I suspect it's going to consist of at least 6 episodes because they were counting up to six (SICK'S) in the trailer.
