Prime Video has unveiled “Hanzaisha,” a Japanese original drama series adapted from Ota Ai‘s novel of the same name.

The series will roll out weekly over four consecutive weeks. Matsunaga Daishi – whose feature “Egoist” drew critical recognition in Japan and abroad – directs, with a screenplay by Sakurai Takeharu, a frequent contributor to the long-running “Aibou” television franchise and the theatrical “Detective Conan” series. Sakurai’s work on “Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine” helped make it the first entry in that franchise to cross JPY10 billion yen ($62.4 million) at the Japanese box office. Music is by composer Kawai Kenji.
