📖 SYNOPSIS

"Naniwa Kinyuu Den: Minami no Teiou" is set in the bustling business district of Minami, Osaka, and centers on Ginjirou Manda. He is a loan shark infamous for his relentless debt collection methods and is known as "Minami no Oni," or the Demon of Minami. Manda operates by charging toichi, a staggering 10% interest every ten days. This translates to an annual interest rate of 365%, making it nearly impossible for borrowers to escape his grasp. The anime explores the consequences of Manda's predatory lending practices and the lives of those caught in the cycle of debt within the unforgiving world of Osaka's financial underbelly. The series highlights themes of desperation, survival, and the moral ambiguities of the loan shark business.
