Toshokan Sensou ~Book of Memories~ (TBS Drama SP 2015) - English subs
I decided to sub this on a whim and found that somehow it was easier to translate than Risk no Kamisama, despite being twice the length of a typical Risk episode... Anyway, Okada is a given, but I became a big Eikura Nana fan after last year's N no Tame ni. I was also looking forward to a Gunshi Kanbee reunion between Okada, Matsuzaka Toori and Tanaka Kei, but I guess that will be in the movie itself since this SP only had Tezuka Satoshi's voice over the phone and a minute or two of actual screen time for him at the end. And Fukushi wasn't all that bad here, but then again there wasn't a lot of acting for him to do anyway.
Toshokan Sensou (Library Wars) ~Book of Memories~
Kasahara Iku (Eikura Nana) belongs to the Library Task Force in the Kanto Library Base. She joined the task force after a member recovered an important book for her that was nearly confiscated by censors. Assigned to Team Dojo, she puts up with both the abuse and harsh training of the monster of an instructor, Dojo Atsushi (Okada Junichi), as she searches for the “prince” whose face she does not even remember. And yet, she starts to develop feelings for Dojo for some reason and feels confused. About half a year has passed since the kidnapping of the commander of Nishina Base and the especially fierce battle of Odawara. Peace is returning to Musashino’s main library. However, Iku feels unsettled every day as she wonders whether Dojo is the “prince” she adores. One day, Iku meets a hearing-impaired high school student Nakazawa Marie (Tsuchiya Tao) at the library. Marie is a childhood friend of Komaki Mikihisa (Tanaka Kei), Iku’s senior in Dojo’s team, and is reading a recommended book that Komaki introduced to her. Iku senses Marie’s secret crush on Komaki. On the other hand, Shibasaki Asako (Kuriyama Chiaki), who does the library’s over-the-counter services, has been meeting a male curator called Asahina Shuji (Nakamura Aoi) frequently. Tezuka Hikaru (Fukushi Sota) is interested in Asako and has mixed feelings about this. At that moment, Komaki is suddenly detained by the Media Improvement Team, which is the censorship enforcement unit, because the book he recommended to Marie is not considered suitable for a disabled person. Dojo, Iku and the rest of the Library Task Force feel angry that Komaki was taken away with this absurd reason. To make matters worse, Iku’s parents who had opposed her joining the task force show up, and she gets into a big crisis of her own when it is discovered that she had kept quiet about her combat line of work. What decision will Dojo and the members of the task force make as chaos descends on the team one after another? (from jdramas.wordpress.com)

Random notes:
- Was too lazy to do the extra bit at the end but basically there was a poll for "which scene that made your heart skip a beat do you want to see again?" And Doujou-Iku won of course, no surprises there. Even though this SP was really much more focused on Komaki-Marie and there was pretty minimal Doujou-Iku.
- There's this part where Doujou counts "93! 94! 96!" I swear I rewound it like 10 times to make sure I wasn't hearing things. I'm sure he said 96 and not 95... So either Jun-kun made a mistake or there was some error in the editing and splicing of audio with the video or something.
- There was a small mistranslation on line 203 in the original version, which has been rectified in version 2.
