You can find episode 8 on Japanese platforms as it has already been released in Japan. English subtitles just won't be available until the 11th.

Episode 8 didn't air in Japan last week due to a scheduling conflict with another program, so it's scheduled to air on Sep 5 instead. It will come to Netflix International on Sep 11 since they're following the same one-week break.

Again, it is not Ichito's job to condemn his patients, so this drama would never take the stance of calling cheaters out. Imo, this drama is set out to normalize sex therapy and encourage everyone to be more comfortable with going into therapy sessions, not to normalize cheating. All the patients shown were indeed of the more extreme cases because they bring up issues that aren't usually discussed in everyday conversations. Otherwise, most of the time the typical patient would just be some guy who couldn't perform during intercourse. There would be no need to make a 7-episode drama out of that.

And I don't think a drama should be made to adhere to anyone's moral compass. If you're going to approach every japanese drama through the lense of "cheating bad" or "bad thing shown to audience means bad thing is being normalized" then I don't think there is anything more to discuss.

I'm afraid you are conflating his job with that of a couples therapist/counselor. A couples therapist is the one who MIGHT give you advice on whether to stay in your marriage or get a divorce. His clients specifically wanted their sex life to work with their marriage, so he had to look for whatever solution to fulfill their needs regardless of his own beliefs.

If everyone let their preconceived beliefs cloud their judgment, then jobs like lawyers or doctors wouldn't even exist. Why even offer service or help to people once you've already deemed them as "bad" right?

thank you so much for subbing!

this will be Kubozuka Airu's third yorudora :o

apparently the DVD/Blu-ray version is 15 minutes longer than the broadcast version. I wonder if the recording with Kiku-TV subtitles floating online is the extended cut :D

season 1 is up on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@kodokunogourmet-tvtokyo

it's so unfortunate I should have watched the novelist first 😭😭😭😭

THANK YOU I THOUGHT I WAS LOSING MY MIND! 🫣 the flavors and chemistry were strongggg when I die I want them to attend my funeral!!!!! now I can't wait to watch the novelist

thank you for the list! I'll slowly go through these when I have time ^_^

thank you!

the first episode, "The Mansion of Phantom Pain," didn't air because of Murakami Nijiro's scandal. instead, the second episode, "Lovesickness" got moved up. the episode count might be changed from 12 to 11 episodes

i thought it couldn't be that bad considering most dramas set in the countryside seem to know what they're doing and at least have some heart to them.... but game change.. how are you a drama funded by a tv channel and still look significantly worse than student films????

yayyyy you watched Kakkee Doushi :')

take my words with a grain of salt im a very inexperienced cdrama watcher. i did like it at times 😭😭😭
