Synopsis

Sakon Futatsuki is the newest addition to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Criminal Investigation Unit. Alongside his elder brother, Ukon, he investigates a plethora of crimes while trying to uphold his own principles and morals. In contrast, Risa Aioi is a skilled detective who works in the same division, but she uses unconventional means to find and capture criminals. She has the tendency to fall madly in love with the targeted perpetrator and will resort to stalking them relentlessly until they turn themselves in.

Sakon is appalled by Aioi's extremely questionable method of hunting criminals, even though it has a high rate of success. He is determined to get her to reconsider her approach to crime-fighting, but the more he learns about her past, the more reluctant he is to do so. At the same time, Aioi finds herself wanting to rein in her impulses because there is still a criminal she desires to capture above all. Concerned with the safety of his colleague, Sakon must learn how to fight "poison with poison" and control it before it is too late.

The number one thing to keep in mind for this series and getting into it is knowing it's short and ends abruptly.

The series has an interesting plot and I think overall, it's a very fun journey. The characters in this series are very solidified and likeable, and the art is lovely as well. However, the series struggles with pacing at points. I think a big plot-relevant reveal does happen a bit too early, especially since it's in the first 1/3 approximately of the series. I think this series would be a bigger hit if it was given the proper chance, but sadly, it didn't get ...

Mixed Feelings
It's okay...

The stockholm syndrome was interesting at the beginning, but it didn't build on it. With every criminal/arc, there wasn't any character development for the protagonists, so that was a little bit disappointing. The rest is average. I'd say read this to understand how to not do a story. It's a quick read, so you'll probably won't waste your time. What was good is the puzzle at the end of the story with the japanese alphabet as the answer, that was pretty clever from the author and props to the translators for translating all that. Hopefully, the author rebounds with something better.

I Tell C to very few people's surprise has been axed in shonen jump. With poor sales with estimates only putting the series selling around 5,400 copies the writing was clearly on the wall that the series was going to be meeting an end soon. What led I tell C though to fail to find an audience in Weekly Shonen Jump? This review I think will help make it apparent on why.

I tell C started with an interesting gimmick of "Fighting poison with poison" the first chapter established Risa Aioi as a criminal stalker who loves the criminal who she is stalking, hoping to help ...
