Miracles Blu-ray Box

A curious university lecturer fascinated by the mysteries of living creatures unsettles the ordinary lives of those around him. Issei Takahashi takes his first leading role in a commercial-network prime-time drama in this comic, heartwarming series that makes you smile before offering a surprising realization.

Kazuki Aikawa, played by Issei Takahashi, teaches animal behavior at a university. While absorbed in studying living things, he is utterly indifferent to everything else. He often fails to listen or read the room and says the wrong thing without any bad intention. Ikumi, played by Nana Eikura, the director of the dental clinic he begins attending, asks whether he has any common sense at all. Yet as Kazuki follows his interests and curiosity, free of convention and fixed ideas, and fills each day with richness, those around him gradually begin to change.

The five-disc box contains all ten episodes, nine chain stories numbered 1.5 through 9.5, and a bonus disc. The three main-series discs run 472 minutes, the chain-story disc 67 minutes and the bonus disc 83 minutes.
