Higa Manami

Those who are currently chasing Code Blue would probably know her as Saejima Haruka, that flight nurse with a tsundere (combative yet kind) character. Somewhat shadowed by the presence of elite actresses Aragaki Yui and Erika Toda, she is actually a rising actress who not only starred in another drama but also won a special award for it (i.e. Dondo Bare).

Some screen captures of her as Ns' H.Saejima...

More info on her from DramaWiki

Personally, I think she looks great and has a very nice voice that doesn't put me to sleep :)

@ProtoMMC: I wonder if she has any potential in singing :rolleyes:

if you read her blog, you'll realise she has a really funny way of saying hello XD, i still havent figured out what the hell she says!

^ You mean "haisaa~i"? That's her trademark catch phrase :P

Actually, it's the okinawa's konnichiwa, according to a vid on her blog and haisaa is for girls while haitaa is for guys to use, very interesting!

ahhh, thanks for pointing that out :doh:

do you remember which entry it was that mentioned that? i'd like to learn some more okinawa dialect :)

now that clip with Fujikawa (Asari Yosuke) makes sense the way how she was saying "haisai" herself while correcting him to say "haitai" instead when he attempted to copy her :sweat:

It's under this entry: ô`‚Í‚¢‚½‚Ÿ‚¢`ô

really cute voice, dunno about singing though.

wonder why her main page does not have link to here.

Do you mean the guy in the middle? :rofl: Didn't know she had a thread, thought she was so underrated in CB, plus she was also real good in Majo Saiban, :victory: need to watch a few more of her dramas, I really think she has the potential to become real popular, sure hope she gets the chance to with some good starring roles. :fingerscrossed:
Ah Suzzy, our 'favorite' co-star....hope you mean the one on the right. :dancing:

Hopefully we'll have more of the show, maybe their romance will blossom, they seem to work so well together. :doh:

I've yet to ever watch one, the length of them makes me wonder if I had the patience to sit thru the whole thing, :nut: though seeing as how there's not much else she's been in, perhaps a trial run of a few episodes may be worth a try. :sweat:

interesting u think so huh?! :hehe:

i doubt you can spot her in few first episodes of Tenchijin. I tried running through them (not properly watching) just to see her but no trace of her at all. Better choice is Majo Saiban, she has more screen time in that.

That was such a good drama, only seen it once so I guess a rewatch needs to be in order. :beatyou: Actually didn't know she was in it until I started watching it, was a pleasent surprise when she appeared. :victory:
