天久鷹央の推理カルテ (Ameku Takao no Suiri Karte)
A medical mystery about a brilliant doctor who solves cases no one else can diagnose. It fits fans of the medicine-and-poison mysteries in The Apothecary Diaries. The official site says Episodes 1 and 2 are new stories written by the original author.
わたしの幸せな結婚 (Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon)
