Shikkou!!: Inu to Watashi to Shikkokan (2023)

A very enjoyable drama, maybe not what you might expect

Sairi Itoh as female lead? Of course that's what I want to see! But here she's more like a mascot, but that's not even bad at all.

Sairi Itoh is a pet shop girl, or a dog shop girl to be more precise. She's good with dogs. And then there's the bailiff, who's afraid of dogs. And because of that, he hires her to be his assistant in order to deal with the dogs of the debitors he's executing. Not a very realistic scenario I would say.

But the background stories of the debitors makes this drama most watchable. While Yoji Oda acts as the strict executioner, Sairi Ito adds empathy to the cases.

For those who might want to ask 'is there any romance?', I can say, this is just some addition to the story and there is not much progress on this, so it won't distract the overall watching pleasure.

And for those interested in dogs: they are just dogs. not solving any cases, not barking too loud, no super powers. So please be disappointed.

Only Japanese subs are available at this time from what I know.

Any subbers out there? Please pick this one up!
