I reblogged a piece of SPEC fan art on Tumblr and made a rash promise to post about Toma Saya and why I love her. And apparently I'm being held to that. SO.
SPEC is a 2010 J-drama that starts off looking and acting like a mismatched buddy cop show crossed with The X-Files, and turns out to be about found families, an international conspiracy, and the worst boyfriend ever. It's actually a sequel or spin-off to an earlier J-drama, Keizoku, but I haven't watched that yet, and I didn't have any problems following SPEC. Straight-laced detective Sebumi Takeru's life falls apart when, in the middle of an operation, he seems to shoot his partner. He insists that time stopped and the path of the bullets was altered, but seriously, who is going to believe that? So he's transferred to a dead-end post in Unsolved Cases, where it turns out his new colleagues are investigating crimes affecting people with special abilities, or SPECs.
