Synopsis
The Mobile Investigative Unit (known as “MIU”) of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department attempts to solve cases within 24 hours. Detective Shima Kazumi is selected as a new member of MIU. He is intelligent, with excellent observation and communication skills. Yet, he does not trust other people. He is unable to find a partner in MIU and is ordered to partner with Police Officer Ibuki Ai, who works at a police substation. Ibuki applied for MIU, but he failed. He is in excellent physical condition, but he lacks knowledge and experience as a detective. Shima learns about Ibuki’s background and he becomes more nervous. Finally, Shima has his first meeting with Ibuki.

demislaqueusJanuary 27, 2024Phenomenal!What a great buddy comedy! It feels like a classic of the trope, honestly. Ibuki and Shima are incredible characters. Their chemistry is striking from their first encounter, and the writers still gave us strong secondaries to help bring this journey high stakes, as is expected of an investigative drama. Each episode has its forte, dabbling with problems within the police and society, but my favorite is the ninth. I recommend this to anyone who likes seeing strong leads playing off each other’s strengths and weaknesses with compelling mysteries surrounding them.
