Then there is a romantic comedy series that ranges from pretty good (“My dress-up darling”) to horrible (“pure-a-Girl friend”), plus other seasons of other shows that deserve more attention, such as Vampire Romance “Call of the Night”, coming-of-Age Story “Rascal does not dream of Dreaming. ”
As a return, the premiere shows newer series can sometimes get lost in the mixture. But this summer boasts some promising new shows that are worth noting. There is an action series like “Gachiakuta”, which starts a strong production team and hopes to stand out in the packaging, as well as Netflix’s original alternative history series “Leviathan.” Then there is a restart of a horror comedy from the 80s “Hell Teacher”, along with newer comedy series such as “City” and “Newight of the Living Cat.” For somewhat heavier and quieter, one of the more promising show in the summer is the appropriate with the title “The Summer Hikaru Died”, an upcoming age horror story based on a acclaimed, gripping manga.
