Kaori finally turns up. She's scary, as expected.

Making mannequins from real women... bah, so awful. I actually thought of Ryo shooting through a train but I considered it to be too much, apparently it was not

I think I could dig this series... I'll have to get used to the quick changes between goofy comedy and serious action though.

And Saeba continues showcasing his shooting skills by shooting through the train's windows haha. Looking forward to more examples of his badass shooting skills.

So it's obvious that now there's going to be some slapstick with Kaori hitting Saeba every time he does his routine. I hope they don't overdo it and make it boring.

Apparently!

Ah, Kaori's the typical feisty tomboyish sidekick. Her main purpose is to keep Ryo in check and occasionally need saving. Prove me wrong please!
I still kind of like her archetype though. And chances are Ryo won't be harassing her like the other women anymore.

Finally the ten ton hammer said in the synopsis shows up, what's not good than a fiesty red-haired sidekick?

And again Ryo Saeba saves the day!
I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons,
if you were you wouldn't be on MAL.

This adaptation totally misses out the effective simplicity of the manga chapter. Comedy has been injected to higher levels and the already existing one has been traded for unfunny equivalents.
The action segment has been lengthen but Ryo's skill show doesn't stand out much.
Even Kaori seems more stupid.


2/5 Weird way to show immediately the criminal case and its solution.

Wow, the villains this time were really sick, and deranged. Kidnapping young ladies to turn then into mannequins, this is truly disturbing, glad to see Ryou taking care of their little "business."

I really liked Kaori though! She was very brave trying to save her friend, and thankfully her friend was still fine. Kaori is going to make a nice duo with Ryou, but the preview is worrying, her birthday cake might truly be soaked with tears.

Ryou is the original Yuki Rito, tripped then accidentally groped a girl xD

So she's the main heroine eh
She looks way too normal for a heroine xD

Wait a minute, where's the boss?
Is he the night-vision guy? Or the boss will be wrapped for another day?

I'm liking this show thus far. The neon aesthetic is right up my alley and it's got some solid characterization (I can already get a strong sense of who Kaori is). The main issue I have though is that I'm worried every episode will repeat the same formula with little to no variation. That being said, this episode introduced a new character so I'm quite optimistic for a change of pace.
Take care of yourself

Great episode.. I found it creepy and messed up aswell. Turning girls into mannequins. The comedy is great too aswell as the action.

Kaori makes her debut. Her pretending to be a man was so easy, she shouldn't be upset if people think of her as one.

Ryo had a great showdown in the subway.

Turning beautiful women into living mannequins, damn.
Saeba encounters Makimura's rookie sister Kaori investigating the case. Luckily he shot as the rich men were discovering her gun was a toy.
Through the train What a marksman.

Good episode, Kaori getting hit on by that female informant is pretty funny.
