Fullheart5 Apr 25 2014 5:10 pm Liked Tokoyo Dogs as well. Not necessarily better just different.

Lizzy Nov 30 2013 11:01 am One of my all time favorite series, excellent choice of characters. I hope there is a season 2 coming soon <3 Great work on the series everyone <33

Emi Nov 30 2013 6:53 am damn cliffhanger I wanna know what Tashiro wanted to say.. plz release season 2 pretty please :(

Sarah Oct 12 2013 6:09 am Season 2 please!! m(__)m

Krysa Aug 05 2013 6:37 am Criminal cases for children with many illogicalities, but those two guys are really handsome. Those two and good jokes are the reasons why I finished the series. But Tokyo dogs (for example) were much much better.

ryu chan Jun 19 2013 8:23 am 2nd season pleasee..... wondering what happened between tashiro and yamashita in the past....

Maria Jun 19 2013 1:45 am I love the show, a detective show yet it it is also a "feel-good" kind. I am hoping for another season or more. I love the main stars, they are so good looking and I love their characters on the show also, I am not Japanese but I love the show.

Clover May 22 2013 5:10 am great series with an entertaining storyline, this is one of the few shows that makes me totally forget it's only acting and gets me living within it :) Looking forward to see more of this 5/5
