Gou Gou Datte Neko De Aru (Season 2): Subbing Project (Complete)

[earth_colors]

Gou Gou Datte Neko De Aru 2 (Spring-Summer 2016, WOWOW) returns with a second season, this time with more five tales from the time when Gou Gou the cat was still alive. Popular mangaka Kojima Asako (Miyazawa Rie) draws her monthly manga, while living in her home near Inokashira Park with her two cats, Gou Gou and Bee. She strives to come up with stories and meet the deadlines, while being assisted by Minami (Kuroki Haru). However, Minami, who wants to become a published mangaka herself, feels more and more upset since so far all of her works are rejected. She takes out her frustration on Asako, and decides to quit being her assistant... To replace Minami as chief assistant, Iida Chiri (Maeda Atsuko) offers her services. However, she comes off as highly strung at first, and impassioned about her convictions. Plus, she is afraid of cats... One day, Asako receives a surprising request from a policeman detective Kagawa (Ogata Issey) from Musashino Police Station. He asks to borrow her second floor room in order to use for a stake-out. He says he is hunting for a criminal who is hiding somewhere in the park near her house... Then, Asako reunites by chance with Tomoko (Nishida Naomi), a fellow cat-lover and former college mate, who hails from Hiroshima. Both reminisce about the past... Asako learns of a rumor that her long-time editor, Omori (Nagatsuka Keishi) has gotten married. She feels hurt that Omori would keep such a secret from her. Actually, Omori for some reason cannot bring himself to tell her. The relationship between the two become strained and awkward... And lastly, Asako learns one day that the homeless man (Tanaka Min) who disappeared after giving Gou Gou to her has been spotted near Mt. Fuji. She goes in search of him...

Thanks for continuing with season 2!
Btw, I noticed that you have subbed a couple of WOWOW dramas. As far as I know, I don't think Japanese subs for WOWOW dramas are posted on jpsubbers. Did you time every single line from scratch? Or if not, do you mind telling me where you found Japanese subs for this? I will really appreciate it if you did as I'm looking for Japanese subs of other WOWOW dramas. :)

I use for reference the CH-JP hardsubs from the group formerly known as Yyets. They sub a lot of WOWOW dramas before, but I notice they seldom do so now, starting last year.
