NANBAKA

About the story

Nanba Prison is Japan's largest prison, built on an isolated island to hold exceptionally dangerous, vicious criminals serving heavy sentences. In its long history, no inmate has ever overcome its formidable walls and successfully escaped. Hajime Sugoroku (voiced by Tomokazu Seki), head guard of Block 13, is known as Nanba Prison's No. 1. He is painstakingly serious about his work and insists on being the best even at his hobbies. Block 13 holds four prisoners: Jyugo (Yuto Uemura), a boy with a dark past who is determined to escape; Uno (Tetsuya Kakihara), an inveterate flirt who welcomes any woman; Nico (Daiki Kobayashi), an American with an extraordinary passion for Japanese anime; and Rock (Ire Shiozaki), whose two greatest priorities in life are eating and sleeping. Always supremely confident in his own abilities, Sugoroku discovers that he is utterly helpless against these four inmates who never follow the usual rules.
