WOWOW have done it once again and created another strong contender for jdorama of the year. And surprisingly even with a jpop guy in the lead! Hokuto is about Hashizume Hokuto, a 20 year old who at the start of the story is in prison facing the death penalty for murdering two people.
As details about his crime are slowly revealed, we start to learn more about Hokuto's tragic past and what made is poor person commit those crimes.
A big thank you to keiko1981 for the Japanese subs. it made watching so much easier. The raws can be gotten from nyaa here. A definitely must watch and deserves to be subbed in English. Bravo WOWOW. Maybe they can even get Fukada Kyoko to actually act if they cast her in one of their shows. Or maybe not.

Planning to watch this next! Is it too heavy? And is there a violence scene?
@Anon : There is a lot of violence and it is very heavy so make sure you're mentally prepared for it.
d-addicts has the subs!
"Maybe they can even get Fukada Kyoko to actually act"
Ha! As if.
There are eng subs on d-addicts and raws here https://suuteitsai.livejournal.com for anyone who wants a nyaa alternative.
Thank you for recommending this. Easily one of the best Jdoramas I have ever seen.
The acting and directing were amazing. (Also, I think his sister is super cute with her husky voice).
If you have not seen this then you really have to.
I've watched a few Wowow shows lately and I felt so emotionally exhausted that I need to look for some mindless zanny shows to wash down.Will put this on my watch list.
