The Thrilling Title Reveal

Building on the success of last year’s sensational YouTube production, Tomochika Suspense Theater: Dogo Hot Springs Mystery and the Continuous Murders of the Strip Girls, the title for the second season has finally been unveiled. Prepare for intrigue and excitement with The Murder Case of Sleeper Train 'Hatsuyuki': A Reunion Tour of Malicious Intent.
