Draft:Don't waste your time, lovers

"Don't waste your time, lovers" (時をかけるな、恋人たち, tokiwo kakeruna, koibitotachi) is a television drama[1][2] broadcasted by Kansai Television and the Fuji Network System during the "Kadora ★ Eleven" slot from October 10th, 2023. Riho Yoshioka[1][2] stars in the show.

The show is a science fiction romantic comedy that combines the job of a time patroller with a love which transcends space-time[1].

Yoshioka herself is from Kyoto Prefecture, and a fan of Europe Kikaku (a theater company)[note 1]. At the production presentation, she said the dream of "wanting to work together" with Europe Kikaku was fulfilled[2][3].

This is Eita Nagayama's first time starring in a production produced by Makoto Ueda through Europe Kikaku since "Summer Time Machine Blues"[2][3].
