Ye, that Yuuki guy is a womanizer lol

Looks like Kojima is trying to manage his own business no matter how difficult it is. It's interesting the episode didn't focus as much on Akira than usual. Yuuki's character introduction came out of nowhere.

Looks like Youko's found herself a new plaything.

One night, a playboy named Yuuki Kawai was at Bar Buffalo. Known for dedicating his life to womanizing, this shallow man caught the eye of Youko, who locked onto her target. Meanwhile, ignoring Ebihara's orders, Kojima was determined to start his own business. The Maguro-Gumi's enforcer set his sights on Misaki, someone the group had tried to deal with in the past.

Although I'm thoroughly enjoying this situation, I kinda feel bad for Yuuki. Nice knowing you. You ain't got much life left to live peacefully now that you got caught by Youko. I was rolling my ass off laughing when I saw how she looks when she communicates with Mr. bartender. Props to him, by the way. He's a real pro, up there with the likes of Akira.

Kojima's got his sights on Misaki now... that just means Akira's gonna have his sights on him soon enough.

Youko, you thot! There's only one pro in this town, and he's making 900 yen an hour!

Plot is moving right along. Kojima has gotten even bolder and is both doing jobs under his boss's nose and making moves against Misaki. Really, this guy just worsens the lives of everyone he comes across. At least that one Aniki knows what's up. The Jackal drama was great as always. His ex-wife doesn't enjoy sex with him, but which one?

Wow Misaki's secret will be reveal soon to Akira. Misaki got 2 threat from Hentai-kun co-workers and Kojima.

Hhmm I think, Will Youko get an offer to be slut too?🤔

Huh, a rare miss of an episode for this series imo. Probably the weakest episode so far in fact. Far too much time was spent on Youko playing with that guy at the bar. It felt very one-note and seemed to go on forever. Plus the faces looked at times really poorly drawn this week on certain characters. Maybe that's happened before considering some of the comments I've read, but this was the first time I really noticed it. The rest of the episode was largely more setup, which is always tricky to pull off in an interesting way. The only part of this one I really liked was drawing the zoo animals. Ah well, just one week. Hopefully things get back on track next week.

Youko is such a crazy slut, but it was damn funny ;d I wouldn't want to even talk with woman of her character ;d
It is kinda strange that so many way different people life's got tangled around each other, but it is also better than the first few episodes which here damn stupid..

I think the best part of this episode was Satou drawing the zoo animals for the ad. I was keeled over laughing 🤣 Kojima going to get himself into a world of trouble messing around with Misaki and that perv that’s trying to blackmail her isn’t in a much better spot. I’m hoping Satou takes action against these two dirtbags 😝

That bartender fearing for his life lol RIP Yuuki-san, you're in the grip of Youko Now.

Takahashi ironically is one of the kindest characters in the series it seems.

Damn, I thought that one guy was just a nuisance pervert but he's actually predatory how he wants to use info he gained for blackmail.

The drawing has suddenly improved since the last issue.
Kojima is a very ordinary yakuza.
Ebihara is more an ordinary man than a yakuza.
He is also a murderer, though.

I'd love to match wits with her. It wouldn't be hard to mimic a simp, but that gal's too sharp for a casual ruse. There's more than one pro in this town, after all.

Man females are quite scary. No wonder I've never been interested in bars around here.
Kojima seem to get himself into bigger trouble after getting out of the can but we'll see.

Yoko is a force in her own way, underestimate her and she'll consume you entirely. Worst part is, you won't even know it until it's too late.

And omfg, the safe cracking nightmare was so damn hilarious "You like sex?! *POW*" that shit sent me lmao

Youko absolutely killing it with every scene she's in. Her manipulating Yuuki Kaji's character was the highlight of the episode for me.

So Misaki didn't do porn, huh? Just semi-erotic photo shoots.

Pretty good episode. This show has gotten considerably better since Kojima's introduction. Looking forward to seeing the moment when all these storylines converge.

Honestly, I don't blame Akira wanting to live more of the ordinary life, being so fixated on Jackal and his endless drama. As for Yoko, she just wants to get laid by whoever grants her his time, and one of them gets his way with her, she tries to act innocent like it's the first time at her regular bar, and getting to his good graces while toying with his heart. And this man's the playboy Yuki Kawai, while Yoko tries her best to communicate with the bartender to not expose her off to increase her chances to score him. What a hilarious scene from start to finish seeing Yuki brag about himself while Yoko knows she's just playing with his heart.

Back to the crimes, Kojima's crimes has made Takahashi hallucinated, while Akira is training himself buck-naked, with the news about Ebihara being hospitalized. Kojima can only do his sortie with Ebihara, which means that him reaching out to his old pals to create the call-girl service behind his boss's back, all without enraging the Sunagawa branch. Back to Misaki's job, Akira gives a try drawing a lion for a children's service, and somehow, it's even better than Misaki's drawing. The animal designs thereafter...sure look all dissident, but at least that helped him earn 100 yen more per hour now. But Kojima catching onto Misaki and her former AV work, it's going to be bad if they find her.

The Sunagawa Group has finally caught onto Kojima...and he's gonna pay for it.

Youko part was great, as much a Kojima's shit stirring is making the plot more serious, really hoping that idiot gets what he deserves and like a big slap to the face from Captain or something, he is a lower tier character alongside the glasses creep at Akira's work
Seeing him do all the evil yakuza stuff when he really shouldn't and preaching about what yakuza should be like has me cringing it's almost like he some chuuni for yakuzas or something, poor Takahashi caught up in all of this he's like got PTSD now from this shit show

Yoko's bit was so funny lol I love her. Now I'm scared for Misaki though 🥲 this Kojima guy is causing so many problems (and so is that nasty pervert!) but like he literally doesn't have to 😭😭 Ebihara has something set up for you! Just wait!! He's also gonna be so mad if he finds out Kojima trys to rough up Misaki. I wonder how Akira will inevitably find himself involved.

Also that dream sequence with Kojima coming out of the fridge with a gun saying "you like sex?" Looked straight out of Jojo lol. Really made me laugh!

Yoko is absolutely priceless and hilarious. Her inner monologue is absolutely fire. But at the rate she's going, she's going to have to give the bartender a cut of her action.
