Synopsis
One day all of a sudden, a trouble befalls one man. That trouble snowballs into bigger troubles, one by one, pulling everyone around him in.

A yakuza being chased by another yakuza, a mysterious woman who is being attacked, an otaku man with some sort of "power", a hit man who has lost his memory, and an old landlord. You can't miss even a second of the shocking confessions made by the residents of the apartment.

A mystery upon another mystery, this is an intricately woven story. When all the pieces of the puzzles are put together, you will experience something you have never experienced before. A new experience will be felt through this fast-paced story. This is a serious comedy that will draw you in. --TV Tokyo

It is kind of confusing, but I really like it when dramas force you to think about the plot and try to figure stuff out. The characters are just so lovably weird, too.

I know what you mean and i enjoy this kind of stories too, but Troubleman were getting always the same recipe. Each episode was about someone's past and some are just so similar, so i was getting tired of it.
But now i gotta say, after episode 6 i really started to enjoy it. It was the first episode that i laughed and enjoyed watching it, instead of getting asleep. It was a lot more intriguing than the previous episodes. I can't wait for the next episode and see Tokuda(?)'s past and the relation he has with the yakuza guy's past.

Director Sabu is a renowned filmmaker, so I'm proud of Shige that he was chosen to co-star in TROUBLEMAN. Yea, Shige!
