Like I said, too many things. I'm probably not going to watch them all right away but save some for the end of spring season. I still have to decide which one may be good to binge watch.
I know there's Yoko's drama too, but as of now I honestly don't care about the plot. Sorry, blond Yoko.

Synopsis: Kazama Naoki (Sakurai Sho) is a crack detective at the private investigation firm Nemesis in Yokohama. He has a brilliant mind like Sherlock Holmes and solves every difficult case. But the true detective is actually his talented assistant Mikami Anna (Hirose Suzu). The two of them, who make quite an odd duo, are searching for Anna’s father Hajime (Nakamura Toru). He is a scientist and went missing all of a sudden. Together with Kurita Kazuaki (Eguchi Yosuke), the owner of Nemesis who is Hajime’s good friend, Anna and Kazama seek clues to his disappearance. As they take on one puzzling trick-ridden case after another, they seem to find a hint related to her father each time that brings about a new riddle. Then they learn that the key to solving the mystery of his disappearance is a 20-year-old incident that has been buried in darkness. What Anna does not yet realise is that both Kazama and Kurita are connected to this incident …

Synopsis: Nagisa Mio (Ishihara Satomi), an oceanographer at Shibaura University of Marine Science and Technology, is very interested in fishes and loves the sea. Despite her cheerful smile and kind, good-natured personality, she is reticent about her family and past. Hasuda Rintaro (Ayano Go), the second of three sons (Otani Ryohei, Watanabe Keisuke) of a wealthy family, is feared by the people around him as he comes across as someone who is hard to approach. But beneath that armour is a young man with a pure heart and no airs. He has returned to Japan due to his father’s (Kaga Takeshi) poor health and is put in charge of a marine resort development project. While Mio wants to protect the ocean and opposes the resort’s development, Rintaro is staking his life on it. These two people who seem as if they live in different worlds, meet each other over the project and eventually fall in love. However, theirs is a forbidden romance because Mio has a secret that will shock everyone.

Synopsis: 26-year-old Mashiba Kurumi (Kawaguchi Haruna) is in charge of public relations at el Arco Iris, an interior goods company that is popular with young people. She works hard every day, overstretching herself for the sake of the company, its fans and her CEO Hayama Shogo (Mukai Osamu) whom she secretly likes. However, she is so busy that she forgets to renew the contract for her apartment and ends up getting kicked out. Fortunately, Kurumi is helped by Saotome Koko (Natsukawa Yui), a popular 50-year-old food stylist who is her only female friend. She arrives at Koko’s apartment in Omotesando expecting to lead the high life in a fancy condominium but finds out that she has to share the place with Koko and three strangers. They are 26-year-old Fujino Shun (Yokohama Ryusei), a minimalist and a chef who runs a bar from his food truck only whenever he likes; 36-year-old Terai Haruto (Matsuyama Ryuhei), an online counsellor who is Shun’s second cousin; and 33-year-old Hase Ayaka (Nakamura Anne), an aspiring artist who does part-time deliveries for an upscale supermarket nearby. There are frequent problems due to the different mindsets and preferences of the five roommates. While Kurumi has always been conscious of other people’s opinions, her values begin to change as she spends time with the carefree Shun who stays true to himself, and the two of them rapidly grow close …
It's weird, because I'm afraid I won't like this, but with no reason at all.
Maybe it's the CM that doesn't appeal to me? The color palette? I don't know there isn't a real explanation, since I like both the cast and the scriptwriter. Maybe it's all that pink, or seeing Yokohama Ryusei in this kind of role, or Maru's hair color.

Nakahama Rihoko (Arimura Kasumi) drops out of a top company that she worked at for several years and seems to become like an empty shell while her younger sister Tsumugi (Furukawa Kotone) uses the excuse of supporting Rihoko to aimlessly work in the nightlife district.

Synopsis: Iruma Michio (Takenouchi Yutaka) is a devil-may-care, unorthodox criminal judge at the Tokyo District Court’s First Criminal Investigations Department. He used to be a lawyer and was deeply involved in a past case that was behind his transformation into a judge. Iruma personally inspects crime scenes to prevent a miscarriage of justice and bring the truth to light. Although his demeanour is far from the image of a stuffy judge, he is feared by lawyers as well as prosecutors because he is not bound by obligations, prejudices and preconceptions and has an inquiring mind. On the other hand, the judge Sakama Chizuru (Kuroki Haru) is the complete opposite of Iruma. A graduate of Tokyo University’s Faculty of Law, she is an elite among elites. She has been transferred to the First Criminal Investigations Department to reform it due to the unbelievably small number of cases that have been closed. This is the equivalent of a company in the red to the extent of going bankrupt. As someone who takes great pride in maintaining public order by handling cases accurately and promptly, Chizuru cannot understand Iruma’s style which frustrates her to no end. However, when she realises that Iruma believes in treating a case as an individual’s life, she is faced with the question, “What can a judge do aside from issuing a ruling?”
I have a good feeling about this!
Weird judge and serious judge with a supportive team of colleagues, it could be really good.

Synopsis: Talented but eccentric manga writer Karibe Seiichiro (Suzuki Ryohei) has never made an appearance. He hides his identity behind a female pen name and his private life is shrouded in mystery. He is not good at socialising, barely goes out and cannot understand regular people. He continues to write a series which has been a big hit without any assistant. One day, Seiichiro winds up adopting his younger brother’s orphan Ren and his solitary life is disturbed. Kuon Aiko (Yoshioka Riho), a girl around 30 who has no dreams, boyfriend and work, is at the funeral service for her first love Jun (Iwata Ryusei). She has an electrifying encounter with Seiichiro, who is the elder brother of her first love, when he makes a preposterous request, “Have a romance with me.” This sham is meant as material for his manga.

She meets Obara Koichi (Nagayama Eita) who is the ace of the Air Rescue Wing of the Air Self Defence Force.

However, as they begin living together in the same house, their different lifestyles and values result in differences in opinions and huge fights. Saki and Koichi soon decide to get a divorce.

Synopsis: Omameda Towako (Matsu Takako) has just become the CEO of Shirokuma Housing, a construction company. Although she is thrice divorced, there is nothing particularly strange or erratic about her. She loves clothes, is cheerful, playful, a little impatient and in some ways feigns ignorance. Towako lives with her daughter Uta (Toyoshima Hana) whom she had with her first husband Tanaka Hassaku (Matsuda Ryuhei), the owner and waiter of a restaurant in Oku Shibuya, Tokyo. Her second husband Sato Kataro (Kakuta Akihiro) is a famous fashion photographer who still has a thing for her but is narrow-minded. Her third husband Nakamura Shinshin (Okada Masaki) is a top lawyer and legal adviser to Shirokuma Housing with an argumentative and cynical nature. Towako is still swayed by her three ex-husbands to this day and this brings trouble as everyone apparently loves and also hates her. Will the four of them be able to find happiness?
I like this idea of a woman doing her own things and her 3 ex-husbands still gravitating around her for some reason.
