| Kojima got released from prison damn. Whatever he has planned is not, it might be worth to watch out for him. Now that Akira has an average wage job, it seems his group and friends noticed and threw a party of sorts for him. Felt awkward but it is what it is. Yeah, not much action but I think it's interesting to see how Akira is adapting with this lifestyle. |
 |
| And so, Akira starts working part-time. After serving a 15-year sentence, Kenji Kojima, Ebihara's henchman, is released from prison. He becomes increasingly resentful as he witnesses the changes within the Maguro-Gumi over the years. Meanwhile, at Octopass Corporation, they celebrate the hiring of Akira with a welcome party, offering an hourly wage of 800 yen. However, at the same time, the sinister hand of evil slowly creeps toward Misaki. Her unknown past, the terror that begins here—she is yet to discover it. This disgusting pervert with a camera aimed at Misaki's panties... thankfully, Akira redirected the camera. I salute that. Kuro's back and making his return... he believes he can learn a secret technique from Akira and become an 8th circle murim legend. But back to the pervert... jeez, man. They even used some rotoscoping on him, making him ten times creepier... which he definitely is. Then the guy goes straight home and finds some "videos." Ffs. With Mr. Pervert here finding Misaki's "videos," blackmail is imminent. No doubt about it. |

| Really good cut by Hajime Nihira for that pervert scene, really brings the creepiness to another level. Thought it was rotoscoping at first, but apparently he just draws like that, pure ability. |

| That stalker sequence actually had me on edge. Holy fuck, does this guy need his ass kicked. Fable, the sub-minimum wage pro, completes his first delivery and earns some Misaki affinity points with his tragic backstory and offer of a place to stay. Kuro, the wannabe hitman, continues to imitate Fable and pulls antics that I can only assume are the yakuza equivalent of "Notice me, senpai!" Some promising new villains as well. We've got Kojima, who's fresh out of prison and sees the present day yakuza as soft, and this stalker coworker who found Misaki's history as an AV actress. Keep it coming! |

| Stalker guy being creepy as fuck; seemed like Sato was about to end him when he got all touchy. Luckily Sato is a pro. |

| That segment where Kainuma was being a 100% freak of the week in Misaki's room was really well animated. He moved so fluidly. |
| Loved it heheeeee |

Imagine taking a 20fps video and printing every frame, putting the canvas on top of them and trace drawing the bulk of the movements, to finally just add the face and character details. I remember seeing this quite obviously at least twice before, my dress up darling and flowers of evil. edit: Thrice actually. You can also see it in i want to eat your pancreas . |
| Well... someone's going to get a good beating in the near future. |
|
| oh man, this mf perv stalking misaki completely slipped my mind. |
 |
| Tsuda Kenjirou joins the cast. Now this can officially be considered a yakuza anime. Usage of rotoscoping for the home invasion was a good decision. It made glasses pervert look more creepy than pathetic. So Misaki used to do porn, huh? Probably to pay her parents' debts. Interesting but also sad if that's the reason. |

| @IhnalakoKaina I thought it was rotoscoping too but apparently the animator just draws like that. This is pure artistic skill. https://twitter.com/pe_po_po/status/1789481858784534960 |
| the pacing is so slow |
| Takeshi's henchmen of Kojima getting released after 15 years, and meeting Akira on his part-time job while having a glimpse of him, he's quite the menace. Other than that, a welcome party for Akira from Misaki and the rest, it seems appropriate for the 800 yen/hr man. But oh well, what a perv for Kainuma for Akira to see Misaki's panties being shot with a pinhole camera, he just can't shrug it off, and has to act like his norm to be able to diffuse the problem, and he did. But the problem isn't quite over, as Kainuma becomes a stalker, while Akira goins the Prez for another drink. The thing is, Akira and the Maguro Group coincidentally all together at once with Kuro and one of his buddies, he's afraid of Akira, and wants to instigate a conversation with him, and even match with him on the Edamame skins, lols. Kainuma is just being like Shimoneta at this point, and the rotoscoping of the entire scene is rather well done, being that it's all hand-drawn instead (inproved from Under Ninja). And Misaki needing a place to stay, Akira gave his place an offer, and Misaki obliges. The whole affair of Misaki being an AV, the blackmail's on. |

| that pervert could have atleast let the door open or something :( |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| Wow, Bikinis! Erotic pages!!! It was a great work, or not! kekeke |

Damn, so Under Ninja's ED is probably done by him too. Tf he doing at Tezuka.
| @Ronninn Tezuka hires some high-tier freelancers that frequently hop from project to project. They mainly do minor stuff unfortunately like in Under Ninja they had Hironori Tanaka animating a chankla throw, lmao. |
| It would be unfortunate if "something happens" to the stalker guy. A "random" series of events involving a rubber band, watermelon rinds and edamame beans that resulted in his nutsack being blown off will do. |
 |
| I don't know why it's funny seeing a guy like Akira riding a bike like he does lol Oh damn when that guy took the keys I was expecting worse, but he's just a lecher not dangerous at least as far as seen. kuroneko99 said: I'm not sure how edamame is popular outside Japan. Of course, I don't eat pod, and I also don't eat the thin membrane around each bean. I've never seen a person who eat it like me, but if you have a chance to eat it next time, give it a try. I eat the pods. KatoWorks said: I thought it was rotoscoping too but apparently the animator just draws like that. This is pure artistic skill. https://twitter.com/pe_po_po/status/1789481858784534960 Seeing all the 3D objects in there as guides im stil thinking it could be is a basic 3D model animated and drawn over it. Those 3D models are just basic dolls without all the hair, clothes and character features. Unless a reference is being used and not directly traced, that also would produce a similar look. |

| Can't wait to see Mr Fable silently dispose of the creep |
 |
My mistake, it's Snow peas aka Chinese pea pods. I was thrown off because it was in my yakisoba which also has edame |

It's not a yakuza anime until Kenjiro Tsuda join the cast (and just in case you miss it, he voices that ex-prisoner yakuza)
The pervert invade the bedroom scene is so well-animated that it scares me and amazes me at the same time on how they use most of the budget on a scene like this.

| @phantomfandom that what I thought, just how the animation goes smooth so suddenly LOL! |

| @IhnalakoKaina nice information, thank you so much! |
|
| That was best episode so far.. at least something is going on.. and that part with Kuro was funny. Also eating every part of food was good too the bones too, but little too unreal ;/ I dislike anime who act like normal, but sometimes get unreal things in it.. like that jump above that guy who he was forced to fight with few eps ago... and if it is adult cast anime and we see nude guy.. why not show that Misaki nude in this mag? |

| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| "huh? you don't eat watermelon rinds either?" |
