The Legend of Nijitte

Finished

弐十手物語

In Edo-period Japan, a man claiming to be the Shogun's son, Tenichibo, arrives in the capital carrying a piece of evidence to support his claim. The possibility of an impostor meeting the Shogun poses a serious threat, so the magistrate Ōoka Echizen must determine the truth. He selects Hango, a hot-tempered officer rumored to have "wolf's testicles," to investigate whether Tenichibo is genuine or a fraud.

Meanwhile, at the Minamimachi Magistrate's Office, the humanistic detective story unfolds as Iigo Fujikake, his lieutenant Yuzo, and Tsurujiro run amok, dealing with various cases and conflicts. This adult court police story blends adventure and drama, following the officers as they navigate justice, deception, and the complexities of human nature in the bustling streets of Edo.
