cw: death, leukemia, suicide mention, child abuse, descriptions of violence, ableism, sex work, domestic abuse, mental illness (schizophrenia, paranoia)
We work through our sugar rush and carb coma to talk about our new favourite thing: Les Miserables: Owarinaki Tabiji. This film is part Japanese soap opera, part BL drama with a dash of Les Mis. We go into Osakan accents, technical manslaughter, child actors that far surpass the adults, canon Valvert dates, kidnapping tips and sloppy crime scenes, M Tanube with the lead pipe in the car park, Javert in high places.
Character key:
Baba Jun aka ‘Watanabe’ (Jean Valjean), Watanabe Takumi (Fauchelevent), Tokuda (Bishop Myriel), Tanube (Thernadier), Saito Ryousuke (Javert), Fuwa Yui (Fantine), Kosue (Cosette), Ritsuko (Original Character), Erika (Eponine), Usui Shin (Marius) Usui Taiichirou (M. Gillenormand)
