Although I’m not living in Japan anymore, I do still get media news updates of what’s coming out on television and this upcoming drama piqued my interest – especially as I am a sucker fan of both the tantei (探偵; “detective”) and keiji (刑事; “police detective”) genres. Scheduled to air on Thursdays starting from July 7th (7/7) this year, Octo ～Kanjou Sousakan Shinno Akari～ (オクトー ～感情捜査官　心野朱梨～; “Octo ～ Emotions Police Investigator Shinno Akari～”) has a pretty intriguing premise that could yield some interesting cases as an investigative drama.
