And when their disappearance goes into the next morning and then the next DAY, day, he is forced to go the the police and he even uses the news outlets and social media to help him. But will all this help or hinder him?
Indeed, as the media gets ahold of Sagara’s tragedy, the public and police begin to suspect HIM, until it is only his co-worker Mizuha Ninomiya (Kyoko Yoshine) who stands by him and accompanies him as he is resorted to investigating the disappearance of his family by himself.
Shinhannin Flag caught my eye because of its promotional banner looking so much like Anata No Ban Desu. Was it related to the drama? Did it have the same directors or writers? Looking up the credits, it didn’t seem like there were any connections to the show, so I wondered if it was just done in the same style as the former.
Well, after having seen the first episode, it DOES have the same vibe as Anata No Ban Desu, especially the way it is crammed full of colorful characters (including the two inept detectives) , and you just know they’re going to spend the entire series giving us false leads and red herrings with all of them...
It’s one of the things I had a problem with in Anata no Ban Desu, in that every single character is instantly portrayed as suspicious as hell but they all end up as false leads and in the conclusion, the actual guilty person feels more like the writers chose them on a whim rather than as a carefully crafted, planned mastermind.... I’m already expecting ten episodes of runaround, LOL!
