Right now you can watch Taboo Tattoo in Australia on Crunchyroll, and in the US on Crunchyroll — and it earns its twists rather than manufacturing them. Across 1 season, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. With 91 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Makoto Furukawa sets the tone, and the ensemble matches it scene for scene. Available now on Crunchyroll — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Taboo Tattoo arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The plotting in Taboo Tattoo is tight enough that the twists feel earned rather than assembled. The story follows Justice Akazuka (a.k.a. Seigi), a young man who is good at martial arts. One day, Seigi rescues a homeless old man from some thugs, and the man gives him an object that imprints a tattoo on his palm. Makoto Furukawa and Mikako Komatsu lead a cast that gives the tension real weight. It was aired in 2016. The plot mechanics of Taboo Tattoo never overwhelm the human cost underneath them. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in Taboo Tattoo. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is the obvious comparison, but Taboo Tattoo earns its own place alongside it. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Watch Makoto Furukawa work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.
