Episode Six in the books on NGN. All is aight, at this stage. OTOH specific plot leaps in *this* particular chapter strained credulity, at best.

Looks like NGN dropped this show. Too bad: getting to know the geinou guests helped me to recognize them in other dramas.

New episode on NGN: gobo in Isesaki, Gunma-ken. Cutey pie Nicole Fujita returns but is kinda overshadowed by two dudes from the Japanese national rugby team.
