My Take
Akiko Nogi is one of the very few screenwriters in Japan whose name alone will make me watch something. Her entry here is thin, born in 1974, educated at the Japan Institute of the Moving Image, because writers do not get profiled the way actors do. The work has to make the argument instead. The Full-Time Wife Escapist, Unnatural, MIU404: romantic comedy, forensic procedural, buddy cop, all from the same hand and all unmistakably hers. Her method, if you can call it that, is that nobody in her scripts is furniture. Minor characters get interior lives, contradictions and bad days. She can put a joke and a piece of social criticism in the same line without either one going soft. Anonymous by trade, and still one of the strongest authorial voices in Japanese television.
