Netflix has released a fresh batch of on-set stills from “S to X,” its upcoming live-action drama series based on the manga SとX ～セラピスト霜鳥壱人の告白～ by Tada Motoo, serialised in Kodansha’s Evening magazine. The series will stream exclusively worldwide on Netflix starting August 20, 2026.
Story
The series centres on Shimotori Ichito, a sex therapist who helps clients navigate a wide range of intimate struggles — including sexlessness, erectile dysfunction, infidelity, sexual trauma, and menopause. Nakajima Kento plays Ichito, while Araki Yuko portrays Ichinose Yumi, the woman Ichito had a crush on during middle school.
What the New Stills Reveal
The newly released images highlight just how far Ichito is willing to go for each client:
- Taking a client bouldering to encourage physical activity and mental relief
- Sitting outdoors sketching together to help a client relax
- Fully committing to cosplaying an anime character to connect with a client who says they can only love 2D characters
- Entering a VR space to reach a client addicted to virtual-reality sex
Director Praises the Lead
Director Kusano Shogo revealed that early in production some takes had to be redone simply because Nakajima looked “too cool.” He went on to praise the actor as a “genius of fine-tuning,” describing him as someone who can find the perfect intersection between what is asked of him and what he wants to express — and then deliver something that exceeds expectations.
