Manuel Aug 22 2019 5:27 pm In my opinion, people complaining about season #2 are completely wrong... season #1 is ok, but not as good as the second one.

CorvetteBot Nov 11 2017 8:48 am I've been hooked on Nagasawa Masami ever since I saw Dragon Zakura. I loved this season. Tsukiko is seen as clueless because of her obsession with toshi densetsu. She's still able to solve her cases and she's smart. The cast was great. Definitely the best season.

Sensei69 Jun 18 2015 3:11 pm The 1st season was waaay much better than the 2nd. Maybe they changed the scriptwriter, or the director in 2nd season? It felt badly directed. In the 1st season you can sense the real mystery, some a bit scary. But in the 2nd season everything is just comedy. Just my two yens.

pinky Apr 14 2015 5:02 am season 3 pls!!! onegai shimasu <3

Rainer Nov 30 2014 12:18 pm I really like this show...it's fun.....except....I can not stand the character of that love sick guy...he really goes on my nerves. he really should realize that she is not interested in him at all....it borders on harassment at times i know it's a comedy...but this idiotic character was really not necessary

Rainer Nov 29 2014 7:04 pm the theme song at the end of each episode is called Mamireru (マミレル) and NOT Mamillel as it is often spelled. The song is by Kimura Kaela
