Can't people just stay dead in shows like this?

The girl from the first episode stayed dead. The mother who died in the past stayed dead from the 2nd storyline (the father never died, was just kidnapped). It's not like the show's got a pattern of reviving dead people so I'm not sure why you're complaining. Alice even complained this episode about telling the story of someone who was still living. She considers it a detective's job to speak for the dead.

Embarrassment couldn't be any cuter.


Ok, so what's with that face?

She almost confessed to Narumi, and freaked out. She also freaked out when he said he wanted to stay by her side. I don't think he meant it as a love confession, but apparently she took it that way.

Alice was just so cuteee. She's just taking whatever Narumi says the wrong way, don't know how that scene could have became about love. >.>

Ending wasn't a surprise but it was definitely a good ending for this arc. Yugioh left leaving a good impression to everyone after a tie in his duel.

Is it just me or is this one of the only Anime to deal so openly with non Western immigrants in Japan?

The episode itself was a bit disappointing and a bit to obvious from my point of view.
Tho i have to say Hison being the owner of the shop was a nice twist.
It must have been painful for the Fourth to keep that all a secret from his friend.

I alwasy laugh when Japanese try to improve their Hungarian skills in anime. They did the same mistake in 11eyes, too (I didn't watch it) with the Hungarian episode titles, but it was much worse. The emblem Narumi wears on his T-shirt is not written as "Feketerigő", but "Feketerigó" and it's means Black Thrush. :D I'll bear with it, probably...
You can't really blame someone for writhing a foreign language to them wrong.
Especially if it's just a single character.


i think you are right..btw i am hungarian so i was just happy when i saw that name...it's like when some Trinity Blood episode are located in tha capital of Hungary..it" nince i think...it's not about one character...

Knew from the start Hison was that guy with the glasses. Was hinted throughout the previous episodes. Pretty good episode overall. I simply can't get enough of Alice getting all shy and blushing. Damn that was cute. xD

I think I'll be dropping this. Not because it's particularly bad or anything, but whenever a new episode comes out I find myself thinking of it as a chore to watch rather than being eager to see what happens. Guess it's just not for me.

Well, I bet most of us already figured out about that "Transgender" thing since last week ep...

though That tailor dude or "dude" deserve it. She was a bitch, and bitch deserve all bad thing that happened to them!
Dude, so "she" was the bitch? It wasn't the OWNER OF THE DAMN BAR AND HER BOSS. Of course it wasn't his fault. It's totally because she tried to seduce him, right right.

Let's get this straight ok. Hison was an illegal alien. The owner of the club she worked at (and a yakuza leader) obviously knew that. I don't think she had any choice in the matter here. Whether she actually was willing or not is beside the point of the story and was never told (nor was it ever revealed). Only facts were revealed.

Dude, she was involved in a shitty gang and it was most likely the shitty life around her or the shitty family's fault. COME ON! You can't blame herself for it.

Glad I started to catch up on this. If you consider that Hison not only lost her child but also underwent a forced hysterectomy (and the various hormonal changes that accompany that), you can see how she might reject acting as a woman (although she certainly is not acting very masculine either). She also may still be hiding from the ex-wife and probably is an illegal resident of Japan. On the other hand she certainly has acted towards the fourth as if she cares about him--check out the baseball cap scene in the preview. Chaz Bono she ain't--she is a deeply traumatized person who is hiding in plain sight.

I thought this was a pretty good arc.

i almost cried at the end :(

i love their bromance!!!

i mean you rarely see that kind of attitude nowadays.

despite fighting and hating each other in no ends, you still care about each other in the end.

and when Soichirou and Yoshiki finished the shirt, man T___T

i didn't like Soichirou in the first few episode due to his brash attitude out of nowhere, but i gain a new respect for him.

still hate Narumi though, fucking worthless and he made it even complicated as it is.

so Yoshiki is Hison huh!

shame she has to give up her identity, i wonder if she wants to see Renji again?

man Yakuza women are fucking crazy!!!

really love Alice expression!

Mel Kishida art is amazing!!!!!



Alice is soo tiny!!!!!!

lover her Blushing!!!!!!!



next episode baseball!!!!

i hope Alice is playing!!!!!

Alice and Narumi's relationship from where? I always love shippings, but there is zip in terms of actual development.

Yeah I don't actually see any chemistry between them, or why she got attacked to Narumi so quickly. By the second (third?) episode, she was already calling him her assistant and wanted him nearby. If anything, I'd rather see Narumi and Ayaka together since she was the first one to approach him. Glad everything turned out nicely once again, especially because of how close Renji and yondaime used to be. Still not totally sure why Hison decided to live as a guy instead of staying as a girl but meh, she looks happy so why not.

The logic behind Alice and Narumi's relationship is that both are the main characters. Supporting characters stand no chance, no matter what. Main characters throw out several hundred years of relationship with a supporting characters for a loving word of another main character.

The only thing going for a supporting character over a MC would be if s/he would have some kind of special powers or would come from a different world/dimension etc., main characters always go for those, too. If there are both several main characters and people with special powers, at least one MC besides the actual protagonist has special powers too though..so again, supporting characters draw the short straw. And out of Ayaka and Alice, Alice clearly has more extraordinary powers. Ayaka is a nice girl and all and all, but Alice is super-moe and super-hacker.

i wished Renji will go see her & ask, why did u become that gangsters lover & so on & on, little bit of Drama would have been good :D

i would have wanted to hear more of their background story, was she blackmailed? did she do it to save the life of the 2? or did she really fall in love with that gangster, so meany unanswered questions

GEEZ Narumi is so tense, he did not notice that Alice was about to confess to him

Alice said that Yoshiki is suppressing her feelings for 4th & Renji like she wasn't able to chose between the to, if that would be true then she would never been that gangsters lover, she just so the 2 as her brothers

I suspected the twist since the shop owner's voice sounded odd although I also thought she might be in the basement of the store too.

"Hmmm yes today I lost my baby and my womb and ovaries, so now I must become a man."

Waitt, Yoshiki was the girl that "died"? I didn't really see that coming, mainly because they said she died and also there was another conflict I was focusing on so I didn't expect this to happen. The ending was great same with these last 2 episodes.
