Comments

Jari D Jun 06 2017 10:38 pm Crime comedy Drama. Baku-chan the only alpha of the whole series angst really brings her character scary mofo as hell, which makes all other cast look goofy around her. Love that they like make joke about the hair on each series and also about the smoking room n a rat? (not sure a pest or pet to Nao) Well balanced of drama and comedy. Don't expect much of goofy comedy, but the jokes are all well made. I'm more interested there is actually a Helpline to help Yakuza quit their group. Oh Japan, you and your specific job stories are the best.
