Synopsis

Utsumi Kaoru visits Yukawa Manabu to introduce him to Kishitani Misa, a rookie detective and Teito University graduate who joined the police
force last year. Kaoru begins to talk about a case that occured at a Kamata multi-tenant building five years ago. It was a case in which the

cult’s founder Renzaki Shiko said the cause of the death was due to his communication of this follower’s feelings in a seance. The police had to

night of the incident until the follower fell. She tells him that Renzaki did not lay a finger on the follower and that the eyeballs of

Is there a post about this drama already?  I'll check later... anyways I've been meaning to post about the second season!!
 
After so many years, there's finally a season 2.. whoot whoot!!!  I LOVE THE DRAMA!!!  Why?  good casting and ost, as well as storyline. 
 
Season 2 just started airing this April, and so far has 3 eps out.
 
Anyways, I really really really love the original cast, which was Fukuyama Masaharu & Shibasaki Kou.  It's a bit sad to see Shibasaki having a little cameo in the first ep of season two... her character is supposedly transferred to America.. and so Yoshitaka Yuriko is her replacement.. boohoo...  I'm just a bit sad because I'm pretty sure all the fans was anticipating a fling with the two.. hehe   I must say the end of ep 1 was such a teaser!! kyahhhhh.. but I couldn't help but smile.
 
Even though I'm sad that she's not really a part of the 2nd serie.. I don't mind Yoshitaka because I like her as well for an actress.. Her character is a bit interesting because she says everything straight out LOL. 
 
Anyways, I must say the 2nd part is starting out great.
