From rakugo performers to science classrooms.

From multicultural Tokyo to messy, beautiful families.

Japanese dramas continue to surprise me with the stories they choose to tell.

I hope this account helps more people discover them.

🇯🇵 Not Just Anime.

Wisdom can save more lives than any sword.

STRATEGIST KANBE is a story of patience, strategy, and the courage to choose negotiation over bloodshed.

Even in an age of war, it never loses sight of humanity.

Quartet mastered the art of making ordinary conversations feel unforgettable.

jdrama is really good at making an intense conversation between two people without any over the top background music? it’s just dialogue and then more dialogue but the acting is so good, their facial expressions are everything, and their voice tone are immaculate

@landxq 『Rebooting』
One of the coolest slice-of-life dramas Japan has ever made.

MANPUKU celebrates people who keep choosing hope, one meal at a time. 🍜

Learning has no age limit.
The Science Club is about ordinary people rediscovering the joy of learning.

It reminds us that it’s never too late to be curious, to dream, or to start over.

Not a story about geniuses—just ordinary people finding wonder in the universe.

My Family never asks for pity.

It's a story filled with laughter, chaos, and people loving each other exactly as they are.

[Not Just Anime | Japanese Dramas & Films @NotJustAnimeJP]

More people should be watching this.

Tokyo Salad Bowl (東京サラダボウル, 2025) just showed up on Netflix in my region. Green-haired Nao is definitely eye-catching, so let's check out what this is about!

[Not Just Anime | Japanese Dramas & Films @NotJustAnimeJP]

@FumeLady I recommend Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju.
You don’t need to know anything about rakugo. The characters and performances will pull you right in.

[Not Just Anime | Japanese Dramas & Films @NotJustAnimeJP]

Tokyo Salad Bowl refuses easy answers.

A thoughtful human drama about language, identity, and the invisible walls that separate people.

One of the most compassionate Japanese dramas I've watched in recent years.

[Not Just Anime | Japanese Dramas & Films @NotJustAnimeJP]

You don’t need to know anything about rakugo.

At its heart, Descending Stories: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju is a story about love, jealousy, ambition, and artistic obsession.

One of the finest Japanese dramas I’ve ever watched.

Nintendo Store Osaka has one of the cutest receipt designs I’ve ever seen.
I almost threw it away without noticing.

Not sure where to start?

Here’s my quick guide to the 6 NHK dramas coming to Netflix on June 22.

I’m curious—which one catches your eye?

[Not Just Anime | Japanese Dramas & Films @NotJustAnimeJP]

Your next favorite Japanese drama might be here.

If you’re looking for something beyond anime, this is a great place to start.

Which title catches your eye?

Mine is Tokyo Salad Bowl.

A baby is born.

A family begins.

A doctor carries the weight of both.

DR. STORK is one of Japan’s most moving human dramas.

🍽️ A cooking drama?

Not quite.

La Grande Maison Tokyo is a passionate story about talented people pushing one another to become the very best.

If you love teamwork, redemption, and underdog stories, this one is worth your time.

What if your three ex-husbands were still part of your life?

Towako Omameda and Her Three Ex-Husbands turns that unusual premise into one of the funniest, smartest, and most heartfelt dramas in recent years.

A story about imperfect people trying their best to be happy.
