Hayami Yuji's light novel series "Maid Deka" is being adapted into a television drama next season. The show will star teen actress Fukuda Saki (18) in her first detective role.
The novels, which have also been adapted to manga, center around Wakatsuki Aoi, a "moe"-type maid working on a wealthy Osaka estate. In reality, though, she is an undercover detective sent by the police on a special mission to investigate a suspect.
The show is said to be somewhat of an homage to the "Sukeban Deka" movie from the '80s. Fukuda commented that while she has not seen it before, her mother apparently named Saki after that story's main character because she wanted a child with a strong sense of justice.
Fukuda's colleagues will be played by Harada Ryuji and Matoba Koji. The show will air on TV Asahi starting in July, occupying the Friday 11:15pm time slot.

Awesome!
Can't wait until I get my hands on this - I think I'll even download each episode. Fukuda Saki always rocks.
