Neko Kare: Shounen wo Kau (2023)
What happens when two lost souls—one a woman weary of adult life, the other a boy with nowhere to go—start living under the same roof?
Ai, a 30-year-old office worker numbed by the monotony of daily life, finds herself making an impulsive decision one rainy night: taking in a stray high school boy with cat-like instincts and nowhere to belong. His name is Nagisa—mysterious, quiet, and untethered from the world.
What begins as an unusual cohabitation gradually evolves into something deeper. As the days pass in their modest apartment, filled with shared meals, silences, and small moments of understanding, a delicate bond forms between them—one that challenges their assumptions about age, love, loneliness, and family.
But how long can something so fragile last? And when the world inevitably intrudes, will the connection they've built survive?
A gentle, bittersweet tale of connection, emotional healing, and the quiet stirrings of love—told through the rhythm of everyday life.

Black Doves
Helen Webb, politician's wife, doting mother, and professional spy, has been passing on her husband's secrets to the Black Doves, the shadowy organization for whom she works. But when her lover Jason is assassinated, Helen's life is turned upside down, and only her old friend Sam Young can keep her safe. But Sam, a suave, champagne-drinking assassin, also has problems of his own. Out of the game, since his last job went wrong, he soon realizes his past is coming back to haunt him. Together, they set off on a mission that will lead them to uncover a vast, interconnected conspiracy. One that links the murky underworld of London to a looming geopolitical crisis — and leads them to question the cost of the moral choices they've made.

Dept. Q
DCI Carl Morck is a brilliant cop but a terrible colleague. His razor-sharp sarcasm has made him no friends in Edinburgh police. After a shooting that leaves a young PC dead, and his partner paralysed, he finds himself exiled to the basement and the sole member of Department Q; a newly formed cold case unit. The department is a PR stunt, there to distract the public from the failures of an under-resourced, failing police force that is glad to see the back of him. But more by accident than design, Carl starts to build a gang of waifs and strays who have everything to prove. So, when the stone-cold trail of a prominent civil servant who disappeared several years ago starts to heat up, Carl is back doing what he does best - rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer.
