I've not put out any episodes from this show since Feb. 2023...how embarrassing! Even more so considering this had (sorta) been nearly finished months ago, and probably could have been posted by then if I had put in the effort for it. However I did say I'd work on this at my own pace, so sorry for those who were expecting consistent uploads of these.

I'd like to put out maybe another episode or two this year, but as usual: no promises.

Anyways, in today's episode:
Shunsaku is tasked with wiretapping and following a female lawyer who’s representing a suspect involved in an arson case—the lawyer is digging into a possible insurance fraud scheme because she’s convinced her client is being framed, and it later gets confirmed when Shunsaku gets involved. They both team up to investigate this further while various people attempt to get rid of them through various means...


Also:
I don't usually post these kinds of TL notes on here, but for this specific episode I felt it could benefit from it this time.

Throughout the episode, Shunsaku visits an okama bar while following the aforementioned female lawyer—when he gets confronted by two thugs later, they begin to talk about the bar he visited earlier and one of the thugs refers to one of the workers as a "tranny".

I decided to go with "okama" for whenever Shunsaku refers to the bar's workers since he's clearly friends—if not, more—with them. Furthermore, unlike the thugs, he's not using the word as a slur. Seeing as how the thugs are, well, bad guys, and were clearly threatening the aforementioned bar worker earlier in the episode, I felt that leaving "tranny" in that one line would make sense. Considering the kind of people that are likely watching this show, they may already know this or be able to guess this based off context, but this is just a heads-up regardless!

  1. I don't mean to be ungrateful or anything, I'm actually very pleased to see someone FINALLY giving a shot at this cult classic. But... given the pace you're working at, should we expect the first season to be entirely subbed in two decades or so?
