| Welp, it was a matter of time before the police force got assigned to investigate into drug trafficking related cases. Poor Kawai though, as she seems to be less experienced in her role this particular episode. Meanwhile, Seiko showed her skills in using those lady charms. Heh, maybe Kawai can learn a few things from her. |
 |
| The guys had it hard the first part of the episode, and Seiko proving again that she is good at scheming. The love hotel part had a pretty funny ending. Anyway the case got solved and they managed to show each others good sides, Kawai learned something again. |
| A tailing mission to crack down a meth drug syndicate, this "championship" to inspect in couples from the Machiyama Police in collaboration with the Narcotics Squad...this is Seiji's last chance to redeem himself of destroying their lieutenant's car with the car chase the last episode. Kawai with Minamoto, and Fuji with Yamada, the latter really brought on the attention because of Fuji's beauty. But that's even more precarious of Minamoto because of the subtlety of this mission, and wherever they go to places like streets or even a love hotel for a stakeout, Fuji always comes out on top, leaving both Minamoto and Yamada rearing on their own heads being tempted by Fuji. Continuing on with the meth case, interrogating the mistress of the culprit Yukari is just as hard as getting information out from the main culprit Kenji, the only use case for rookies Minamoto and Kawai. A dossier in this case can also be information behind the actions of culprits, and using this to lower their guard, Minamoto's a smooth talker beating around the bush essentially, but it's total pressure on the interrogating detectives to deliver the confessions by doing this way. And Minamoto through his deduction, poses that Yukari needn't be the one to rat out her own husband who's also caught, but to give her family life. There's something to learn today: a dossier. And police can actully be helpful depending on their actions, such as with Minamoto that Kawai can learn from. |
 |
| The stakeout part was amusing. Fuji proved once again what a scarycalculating woman she is. This interrogation sent me on a different kind of feel trip. Minamoto cracked her gently with a genuine good cop performance. Man, I love this series. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I don't think that being kind like that to someone in a drug traffic will really solve things IRL but that was nice to see, Minamoto truly loves his work. |
 |
| Man just how manipulative Seiko is, even those in police can't resist her full ladylike persona. And that was some premium level of smooth talking from Minamoto in second half. Man sure knows how to make someone talk. |
 |
| Great episode! This time the police were called to catch a meth trafficker! Kawai is paired with Minamoto and Minamoto cannot afford to fail this task otherwise his previous...accident won't be forgiven but Kawai thinks holding his hand to pretend they are on a date is sexual harassment xD. Meanwhile, Seiko and Yamada have no trouble pretending to be on a date... They end up tailing the suspect and his lover into a love hotel and Minamoto is scared to be accused of harassment for breathing lol. Minamoto really is a good interrogator and gets the suspect to lower her guard. I feel sorry for the Yukari and Kenji as she and him seem to be pretty nice people apart from the meth business. But... in the end, Minamoto gets information out of Yukari about Kenji's brother Buusuke. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| This show is always a good laugh, love it. I can only think of two main reasons as to why one would dislike the show. You hate cops in general or you're an incel. |

| So Minamoto didn't get fired, but he's on the hot seat after damaging the captain's car. The only way for him to redeem himself is to catch the Meth dealer who is hanging around with his girlfriend. The only to get close to the Meth dealer is tail him as a couple so that he won't get suspicious. Unfortunately, Fuji beat Minamoto to the punch when by manipulating Yamada when they were in a love hotel room together. Minamoto got a chance to shine by getting woman in the interrogation room to drop her guard and get a confession with Kawai as his assistant. |
 |
| Kawai is freaking hilarious, I love this show |
| Minamoto's March 8th trick really cememnted his ace interrogator status. |
| Yet another great episode, the first half about tailing the meth dealers was funny, can’t get enough of the dynamics the girls have with Minamoto and Yamada, Kawai’s “No, that’s sexual harassment” really got me, and we also got to a hilarious reaction from Minamoto over Fuji’s Mount Fujis lol. The 2nd half was a bit more serious, but I really liked it, Minamoto went in a roundabout way of getting a confession and even used the date to his advantage, but I especially loved the realness of the situation with the wife of the meth dealer, I found it touching, and the duality of comedy and seriousness is something I’ve come to love from this show. |
| What's this? A depiction of drugs from Japan that's more nuanced than "dealers are completely evil"? |
 |
ReaperCreeper said: What's this? A depiction of drugs from Japan that's more nuanced than "dealers are completely evil"? Well yeah the person behind this show was an actual cop before she made this manga so her stories are going to be more authentic then what they would usually portray it as. |
 |
| They do a really good job with the Characters in this show. It seems like they've thought through their interactions, personalities, motivations, etc. really well. Feels like some pretty realistic viewpoints and takes on the situations presented. |
| fav ep so far. their dynamics are hilarious. kawai's "thats sexual harassment" to minamoto's offer on hand holding to make them look more realistic as a couple was just too good. and then him absolutely freaking out abt everything regarding kawai after that LMAO. yamada and fuji were also great, even this guy who's tasted the gorilla woman's ruthlessness couldn't resist her beauty charm. minamoto's really good at his job damn. that probably wouldn't work irl but i liked that a lot. fuji having faith in him was also a nice touch |
Was that a Gintama reference or do Japanese cops just love eating anpan on stakeouts? |

| Previous ep ended with the boss saying "seiin kubi" but now they're like nothing happened, oc except Minamoto, well, good ep as always, I really like this kind of shows |

| I'm not surprised that Minamoto found himself in the last chance saloon after his driving antics in the previous episode, so the pressure on him to do better in the meth dealer tailing job must've been tough. I laughed when Kawai rejected his offer to "hold hands" by saying that is was sexual harassment, but to no one surprise, Fuji and Yamada beat the duo to capturing the crooks. I also laughed when Yamada compared Fuji's ruthlessness to a gorilla. XD However, Minamoto easily redeemed himself when it came to the interrogation of the meth dealer's wife. I can't blame Kawai for thinking he wasn't doing hid job properly, but Minamoto's tactics for getting a confession out of the wife was a masterstroke. Overall, this was another fun and engaging episode. =) |
| Damn, Minamoto might fuck up a lot, but interrogations are the one thing he will never fuck up. Fucking goated for that interrogation. Also loved how they talked about feeling sorry for the meth dealer, cause that's true in real life. Show the people the story and some of them will feel bad and ignore the wrongs these criminals or something have done, things are not just black and white, that was nice. The stakeout was hilarious though, Fuji might be a gorilla on the inside, but her looks are indeed killer. Kawai is kawaii as always though, you can count on her to lighten the mood naturally in this show. |
 |
| Its about time Kawai learn another new and this episode she learn tailing someone and act as a couple too to complete the disguised of the whole stakeout, which surely not the best suit for the rookie monster like her. Kawai face indeed on a kowai form. But looking at an afro policeman stake with what he did previously, he need to get the job done. Unfortunately, when they were about to be finished, Sgt. Fuji did something unbeliavably. The afro dude sure would be finished. She twisted even her own partner, and scheme the sabu dealer catching without Minamoto-Kawai that left behind. Sweet revenge after what they've done, but its also giving a one more hard time for Minamoto. Fortunately for the afro dude, the last chance of it was about his specialty as the ace detective. Sure its an easy, but-not-that-easy job, because its sure needed the last moment with the right place on the right time, to caught it right. She confessed. Sabu dealer lover almost giving all the heart to the dealer she loved. But at the end, she still love and care about her mother and son, more than the drug, more than the man.... Another nice case and great conclusion episode. Hakozume never cease to entertain me with that 'different approaching' of police lifes.... |

| Trying to make me feel sympathy for a drug dealer and his accomplice? How cute. Also, Minamoto's method to get a confession would have never worked if this was real life but hey, anything is possible in anime ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
| This was the best episode yet. SouthRzVa said: Trying to make me feel sympathy for a drug dealer and his accomplice? How cute. You don't have to feel any sympathy - some will, some won't, and anywhere in-between, and that's what makes up a diverse audience with different worldviews and outlooks on life and different life experiences. But I definitely appreciate a more nuanced look at people who are usually demonized and used and written off as one-dimensional villains, lowlives, comic relief, etc.. Even people who are hated or opposed by most of those around them, the law, society, etc. for their actions usually are at least the victim or hero of their own story from their perspective, or to a few of their family members, friends, or other loved ones if they have them. |
| Holding hands = Sexual Harassment LULW Breathing = Sexual Harassment LULW Also, Minamoto is the best boy. He's so composed and mature as a detective should be. Really love his character. |
 |
| The slight bit of Fuji fan service was all i needed from this episode. |

| Some continuity with the previous episode. Minamoto's reckless driving means he must not mess up this drug dealer case, thus Kawai's sexual harassment comment got him anxious. The fucking double standard with Fuji handholding Yamada's hand. Despite those problems, he excels inside the interrogation room and gets a confession out of the drug dealer's lover after prying into seemingly unimportant details from her personal life. |

| Pretty good episode. The comedy was consistent, the more emotional moments were done well, and Minamoto’s long-con interrogation style was entertaining to watch. |
| Seiko chan has no chill, she just treats them like dogs and manipulates them however she likes. |
 |
| Could we just appreciate the fact that Fuji basically got the perfect alibi to visit a love hotel, and even bill it to the police station as a work expense? |
 |
| Policewomen sure are troublesome during stakeouts, Kawai for not being the brightest and Fuji for being one hell of a schemer. Although Minamoto is also a great schemer with playing his smoothtalking during that interrogation. |
 |
| The episodes are getting better. Fuji has really a strong personality but she's really beautiful even Yamada can't resist him lol. Minamoto is a very great interrogator indeed and the last part was really touching! |
