Japanese series are always so interesting for me. I sometimes don't know what to say in a review. I started watching this b/c I am a huge fan of Sasaki Kuranosuke and he was great here as Tetsuo. The cast is fantastic especially, Kimura Tae as Kasen and Takahashi Kyohei as Kyoichi.

The series has an interesting premise and each episode made me want to see what will happen next. I couldn't believe they would be able to wrap this up in 10 short eps. But the shortness of eps helps the series. No fillers or unnecessary subplots. Tetsuo and Kyoichi being togther for most of the series leads to the palpable tension created by the situation. I loved too that Kasen was all in with her husband. Quite the dynamic duo! I enjoyed the series even with some of the quick solutions that Tetsuo came up with. I also liked that the the crime organization were not stupid/dumb criminals.

The last episode was hilarious but also heartbreaking. Totally worth the watch.
