If you prefer torrent you can use Nyaa [dot] si.

If you prefer direct download you can get the RAW from dramahd [dot] me. doramax264 [dot] com is another choice for small size files (but with low res videos).

The easiest way is to register for drama-otaku [dot] com. You may need to wait for when they open the registration. There you can get the RAW videos together with subs at one place....or at least the info of how you can get your drama.

Host Club is simply the male version of the original KabaKura (with female hostess). Their modus operandi is similar in which to make customers spend money buying alcohol. Those hosts or hostesses who managed to make customer spend more will gain the No.1 status. This is where the trap comes in, where the host could manipulate their customer to make them No.1. And therefore the good ol stories.

Actually the article you mentioned about female customer becoming prostitute is the classic case of the Host Club Scams. If you watch Jdramas like Shinjuku Swan, Yamikin Ushijima, Yamikin Saihara, it was the typical topic they show in the dramas.

If you look into broader sense, underground Idol is also somewhat similar with host/hostess club but with slightly different product to sell. Customers will want their respective OSHI become center, so they will buy merchandise, pour money into their OSHI. In the end of the day, these Otakus supporting the Idols will overspend the money and in the worst case had to borrow from loan shark.

The people behind would be the one who earn the most. In the case of club it was the Gang and Yakuzas.

For the chopstick part, I think the Author of this article was amazed with how people can eat rice beautifully without leaving a single grain, not that she shocked with the chopstick usage. That's actually understandable for someone who's coming from the place that use bare hands to eat rice (like people in my country, Malaysia). But of course for SE Asian we have Chinese descent here so eating rice with chopstick isn't that shocking...lol

She was right the host club is basically the "evolved version of cabaret club". And for the case of this article, the "host club" mention above is simply the male counterpart of the KabaKura (short for Cabaret Club with female hostess).

In case you're not aware of this yet, please know that dramacool is never the place where subbers put their subs. That website steal others work and put them on streaming without permission to earn money from ads.

I won't say you can't use dramacool but if you do, don't mention it in front of the person who subbed the drama as they will feel their effort and hard work are not appreciated.

You should go to d-addicts or drama-otaku to get the sub! You may need to register to these websites if you haven't.

Not bad drama definitely much better than its poster...LoL Don't expect too much on the investigation part if you want to watch it though.

This drama is amazing. You can't predict where it is going you have to stick with it until the last episode. The characters are also fresh and not stereotyped. It also has one of the cutest father-daughter relationships I have seen in dramas. I'm glad I watched it when all the subs have been released, or else the waiting for the new episodes would've killed me.

1. The protagonist is unlike-able for almost all the time throughout the series. He was simply rude, lack empathy, no manners to almost everyone, kind of delinquent teenager. His character development only happened at episode 7 out of 8...lol can you imagine?!

I think should the writer used the cliche or a stereotype delinquent character, it could be a lot more easier for viewers to sympathize with him.

2. The female reporter character felt like cheap tool to neutralize the unlike-able protagonist. Her strange attraction to him was out of nowhere and unrelatable.

3. Other side characters in the dohyo felt like potatoes. Their names were confusing too, Enya, Enga, Enkaku and few others that almost look similar with big body and topknot.

4. The series was late to pick up its momentum as the real interesting part only came at around episode 6. Judging from the ending, there's possibility that the series initially could have more episodes but was cut short to give way for Season 2. Some characters like Ryuki and Male Scoop Reporter have no proper closure as well.

Good series with good production style although the first 2 episodes was kind of slow in terms of the pacing. I liked how it's truth to Japanese style instead of trying to be western since it's Netflix. It was interesting to see the culture, tradition, and ritual associated with sumo, getting featured in the series.

However my complain would be (spoiler below)

Pure slice of life movie. Not many dialogues but the story was told by the action. The pace is slow but the director knows how to make it not boring by injecting some dynamics in the otherwise mundane life of the protagonist.

Pretty entertaining with simple plot. 80's settings, 80's fashions, 80's hairstyle and interestingly shot in vivid colors. The writing is cynical but it includes perspectives from all people involved in the Japan film industry. Be careful not to watch this with family because it has unexpectedly long nude scenes....lol

If you want something different, this is it! It's interesting mystery with investigation but not scary and dark. It's also good in exploring journalism topic. The downside is that everything is shot around the same place throughout the drama and the production is not for those who prefer anything visually sparkling like in Kdrama.

It is forced because the writer tried to over romanticized being gay VS the alleged homophobic parent. Like this tragedy would not happened if the son is liking a girl. It is forced because child abuse/negligence could happen to all kids not only to queer people.

"Unreasonable plot" because the movie told us the father is a workaholic person that rarely be at home. Remember when Minato's mother visited the house, Yori seemed like he used to doing stuff on his own. Do you think this workaholic father that neglect his son care for what his son wrote in diary?

Remember the problem didn't happen if there was no bullying. So what happened to the bully? Are they free from punishment?

My question still hold true. How could the father be 100% sure the son is gay? How old is the awakening age for the kids? Wouldn't it "normal" for homophobic people to feel safe that your son is being friend with boys, than a girl?

Once again we are talking about 11 years old here. And FYI the puberty between girls and boys are not around the same age. Boys usually came later....some will be very late. Yori with soft voice is definitely haven't come of age yet...but for Minato case, it's more logical and the hints are all reasonable. I would say while it is clear Minato is attracted to same gender, we can't say the same for Yori.

If the plot happened to let say teenage kids around 16 or 17....then it is more "reasonable" I guess!!

This is an alright drama. It's youthful and visually vibrant. However as the other comments have stated, the "Toki wo Kakeru" was just the marketing gimmick and did not play so much role on the plot. Sadly the music part wasn't that in-depth either and more towards the superficial side, but at least you will get to see the girls play their instruments unlike "Tadashii Rock Band no Tsukuri Kata" that was released around the same time as this one. I think, should this drama focus more on the romance part, it will give a different impact.

LoL at how they use Kanji Stroke as the mechanism of the day lost. Mikurube and Kadenokoji Surnames are surely PIA to write in kanji. It is funny (theoretically) but I guess the joke is still hard to relate for a non Japanese. Even Chinese would only use single Kanji in their surnames and at most 3 kanji's for the full name.

I liked the original although I watched it few days before this one. I was expecting a more quirkier version considering Kudo Kankuro does the script, but he chose to make it mild and gave more effort in making the mystery different than original. I guess this J-version is still good and interesting to watch, but it missed the charm of the original.

Warning! Spoiler below contains major spoiler. Please don't open if you haven't watched.

4) "Sometimes happens to me" could be referring to "erection" Minato got when their faces were close to each other. But I personally see Yori as generally referring to "erection" that young boys have at "random" time...not necessarily when they are "aroused".

I think the boys are out after the storm, which mean when the storm happened it was still during the midday not late afternoon.
EDIT: Now I remember when mom and teacher look inside the train the boys are already not there...but the sky is still dark. I guess this was just an "artistic" representation instead of a "realistic" one.

That's what I see it too but that's the most unreasonable plot I would say. How does the father know his son is gay? Come on we are talking about 5th grader kid. Even for straight people these are things you don't talk with parents around that age....for example a boy won't casually tell his parents/adult he has a crush for certain girl in class.

On Minato's blaming the teacher, it is obvious the writer want to convey that this poor kid is too afraid his sexual orientation got exposed (because straight people are monsters according to this movie...lol) so he "randomly" blame the teacher...not like he want to find culprit of whatever...because as we know the problem isn't solved at the end...I mean the teacher lose his job and the actual bully got free unnoticed.
