Set in the late Edo period, the story follows Hanshichi, a young former petty criminal turned "okappiki" (investigator), portrayed by Hiroyuki Sanada. At just 33, he is known for his impressive skills but resorts to a chaotic “fighting style” during investigations. Two years after the death of his wife, he lives alone, unaware of his sister-in-law Kumi's feelings for him. As Hanshichi navigates personal struggles, he and his four quirky subordinates tackle challenging mysteries in Edo. Blending sharp detective work with a character-driven narrative, this series offers a fresh take on classic detective tales, reminiscent of a Japanese Sherlock Holmes. Each episode features a colorful array of guest characters, adding intrigue to the stories. This volume contains Episodes 1 and 2.
