The Feel-Good Part  

The show has a lot of feel-good moments. This show is an exciting thriller show. The plot twists keep the viewers engaged. It was an engaging drama with a great start. The actors did an excellent job for most of it.

The Disappointing Factor

There are not many disappointing factors in the show. The show has a very less run time which makes it difficult to set up the whole environment. The show is condensed and couldn’t explore many things it could’ve explored with such an exciting plot.

In-Depth Analysis

Joge Kankei, or emphasis on hierarchies, refers to widespread concerns about the order in Japanese society. This is the basic idea behind this show. It tells the story of Konatsu Honda coming to Tokyo from the countryside, where hierarchical relationships are very important. She moves into Maison Pilgrim, an apartment house populated only by the eccentric lower class. The resident includes Yamanonoka, a woman who works in the nightlife district. Hibiki Toyoda is a struggling member of a music band. Shigeo Hino, the creepy caretaker. And a mysterious man named Kawasaki, who is always on the roof. On her first night at Konatsu’s building, she hears a girl’s frightening screams, and the next day, detective Daigo Mitsuoka visits her. He received a call that a girl who used to live here has gone missing. Kawasaki warns Konatsu that things are not right in this apartment. However, she ignores his warning. She investigates the mystery and uncovers the shocking truth. The show had a lot of potential, but the runtime didn’t provide enough space to explore all of it. Overall, it is an engaging show made with great effort.

Star Power

The star power of the show is the main character. We follow Konatsu Honda as she uncovers the mystery of the apartment, and the writers did a great job creating ambiguity.

Overall Opinion

Joge Kankei tells the story of Konatsu Honda coming to Tokyo from the countryside, where hierarchical relationships are very important. This show is an exciting thriller show. The plot twists keep the viewers engaged. It does have a lot of untapped potential. Overall, it’s an entertaining show.
