Don't Fear The Reaper: The Gentle Side of Death with "Shinigami-Kun"

Ohno Satoshi as Grim Reaper #413 in "Shinigami-Kun"

 Just started watching the new drama “Shinigami-Kun” (Angel Of Death) starring Arashi’s Satoshi Ohno as a novice grim reaper of sorts who appears before those chosen to die clad all in black with the message that they should get their affairs in order before they are taken. Being new on the job, however, he hasn’t quite gotten the hang of things, and finds himself compelled to counseling and even helping the “clients” so they can make the final journey in peace. In fact, for those with troubled lives, these actions can even give the person a positive end to an otherwise conflicted life.

Ohno and Ohara Sakurako

 So far, seems like a thoughtful show and as always Ohno plays these kinds of roles well-Shinigami-kun is a LOT like his other newbie demon-kid Kaibutsu-kun in that regard, an otherworldly person interacting with humans who teach him things about life while he’s here on earth.

Plus, we’ve got Kiritani Mirei as Ohno’s infuriated surveillant- seems he’s always questioning things and ignoring protocol regarding the care of his clients, furthermore, Ohno (or, more officially, Grim Reaper #413) is clumsy and spacey about things, making  her job a lot harder than it should be! Haha, should be a fun ride!
