That's a very unfortunate event. It's not entirely the parent's fault if their child grew up like that. He knew his son as a kind individual so he thought that he raised him well.

Makoto is surely very kind for helping someone he just met, he even got beat up because of that.

The dumb me thought Toshi was Harumi's brother until she said “I want to break up” ●_●

I thought that grandpa had one son and one daughter...and at first Harumi addressed the grandpa as “Dad”. All of this confused me so much......

The anime is giving me vibes, that it will keep being one story per episode until ep 10 or so and then something will happen that will be solved in the last epsodes... That's why i am dropping it. Stories so far wasnt that good to keep my attention.

About this episode story, i really don't understand why Makoto bothered to go that far into this plot, he could bring serious problems to the G-Boys investigating the death of another gang leader... Specially when the gang itself doesn't want people meddling into this story... Then out of nowhere the gang decide to cooperate WTF??

In one scene the ex-girlfriend of the dead is adamant into not telling the father, Makoto decide to tell a lie, and after he tell the lie, the ex-gf appear and tell the whole truth???

This is bad writting people... The characters contradict themselves in a matter of minutes...

Last episode was filler
But this EP adapted story of volume 4 of novel

Danm it... 4 episodes in and we are at volume 4 of the novel?? One episode per volume? And they even introduce fillers? OMG this is really bad adaptation... The story might make sense and be better structured in the novel, one whole volume to tell the story, but in 20 minutes? (if you take away op and ed) Impossible... Yeah, i am deffinitly dropping the series... Which is sad, because if they had given more time for each volume, i don't know 3 episodes per volume? the anime could be a lot better.

Well actually, the ep 3 was in the same vol of the ep 2(vol12 by the way), where the tittle "Youtuber@Metropolitan Theather" was changed to "Zettamovier@MetropolitanTheather".

The story told was sad yet very deep. It was cool to see Makoto go in such depth to help someone he is acquainted with. Toshi was cruel and deserved to go to prison but oh well, he fell down the stairs. Overall very good episode in general.

Makoto got himself quite the messy case that basically boiled down to Toshihiro being a shitty person, dying because a couple used self-defence and everybody keeping multiple secrets to not break the old man's heart. The old man really deserves a big hug for being such a nice person and forgiving everyone.
