Ayami is a beautiful and intelligent teacher who is popular with both her students and colleagues alike. However, she has a darker side- she does not genuinely feel for others nor does she believe in love or trust. One day, however, Yuiko, a girl whose dreams are able to predict terrible events of the future, transfers into Ayami's class after dreaming that Ayami is a saviour of the world. Ayami reluctantly gets dragged into helping Yuiko change the terrible fate of the people around them.
Child actress Hirasawa Kokoro plays the role of young Ayami.
Akumu-chan was announced on August 17, 2012. It was announced that actress Keiko Kitagawa would star as the main lead of this drama series, making this her first role as a teacher. Child actress Manatsu Kimura was selected from a group of more than 500 hopefuls who auditioned for this drama series.
