Shingo Torimonocho 1977 / 新五捕物帳 1977 / Shingo Torimonocho Book

A hard-boiled historical drama set in the Tenpo era , where the main characters, Okabiki and Komagata Shingo, solve various difficult cases . Although it is a poetic justice like many other historical dramas, it is characterized by many stories that emphasize the sorrow of the common people and few stories of happy endings. In this work, there are many episodes in which the common people who live in goodness die mercilessly and miserably in the hands of the evil people, and on the contrary, the common people who live in goodness commit sins due to unavoidable circumstances. The basic format is that Shingo, who has seen the death of the non-worker, goes up against him and avenges his death. At the end of the story, Shingo's turn is usually more spectacular than ‟catching‟ the bad guys, but rather ‟striking and half-killing‟. Even if the enemy attacked with ten people, he did not even use ten hands and half-killed all with his bare hands. (Source: Wikipedia)
