The Chrysanthemum and the Sword (S04E05)

While the third season felt a bit shaky in its first half, the fourth one kicked off very strongly. So far, I've found a reason to give five stars to each of its episodes, and this one was no exception. It's not just because I used to work for a Japanese company, but because of the well-balanced blend of humor and drama, along with the excellently written and performed characters. Nobody here is a flawless hero, yet even the biggest jerk isn't portrayed as the darkest evil. / Lesson learned: When you're masturbating, you're doing it with someone who truly loves you. In most cases, at least. (06/12/2022)
