My Wish Comes True: “Ishi No Mayu” Gets Subtitled!

Fumino Kimura in Ishi No Mayu

Was absolutely THRILLED to find that avieamber on Daddicts had decided to pick up and subtitle the new mini (5 episodes) Crime Drama Ishi No Mayu (Stone Cocoon)!! As you all know I love actress Fumino Kimura and have been dying to see her in a realistic and gritty role, and by golly, that’s EXACTLY what I’ve got with this captivating show!

 A very dark drama about a police task force set out to catch a serial killer who encapsulates his victims in concrete before torturing them to death it is as desperate as they come, and Fumino is so great in this role, awkward and inexperienced but passionate and determined. At times I had a hard time believing this girl was the same fun and sunny character in the other shows I’ve seen her in, this is really a new direction for her!

There has been some buzz about Fumino’s next drama “Siren” with Tori Matsuzaka, which is going to be another crime drama with Fumino in the role of a police investigator and as Ishi No Mayu has shown, she’s totally up for the job! Can’t wait!
