Hanzawa Naoki

Twenty episodes seven years apart, the highest rated Japanese drama in thirty years, and one dramatised prequel special that is genuinely worth watching.

Where to start with Hanzawa Naoki

Twenty episodes in order, plus one prequel special that slots in before the second season. Courtroom-grade office politics played at the volume of a revenge thriller.

  1. 1
    Season 1, ten episodes Hanzawa Naoki

    2013. Its finale drew a 42.2 percent household rating in the Kanto region, the highest for a Japanese commercial drama in about thirty years.

  2. 2
    Episode Zero, optional Hanzawa Naoki: Episode Zero

    January 2020, a dramatised prequel that leads into the second season. Skippable but made for exactly this slot.

  3. 3
    Season 2, ten episodes Hanzawa Naoki

    2020, seven years later. Its finale drew 32.7 percent, the highest of the Reiwa era to that point.

Then what? No third season has been announced. The practical problem is watching it at all: there is no verified legal streaming source in the United States, only subtitled discs.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. If you would rather not do it by hand, a free account syncs every device you sign in on automatically.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet works too, and an account does the same job without you having to remember a code.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
