Title: Matori to Kyoken EP.4
A gritty late-night crime drama set in Hiroshima, based on the manga serialized in Young Champion.The story follows a former child actor turned small-time drug dealer who is forced into becoming an informant — not just for one side, but for both a narcotics agent and a police officer.
What begins as survival quickly turns into a dangerous double-spy triangle.
The contrast between the two “mad dogs” is one of the most interesting elements:
Kurosaki, the relentless narcotics officer, and Katsuragi from the Metropolitan Police, who brings an entirely different intensity.
Casting is unexpectedly strong — Daigo Nishihata as the conflicted protagonist, Yoshihiko Hosoda as the ruthless narcotics officer, and Osamu Mukai adding weight and presence.
It’s not flawless, and the tone sometimes wavers, but the premise is bold and intriguing enough to keep watching.
If you enjoy morally gray characters and tense power dynamics, this one might be worth checking out.
