THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
We are presented in this episode with a new cute female client Kusakabe-san in the following,

and she is damn well tones with a bath towel fan service in the spoiler
Meo on the other hand was quite happy to have touched to have touched Yuuko but I find her here with the music strangely funny. I like Yuuko's eyes here and the flashback here of Meo was done really well due to the white/black setup of whom I find flashbacks to be more recognizable more. I did like Meo's opposition to Yuuko's comment here. That is a nice character trait. Not to let anyone mouth about one's family. I liked that Narumi at first showed concern here for Meo. When everyone got the phone calls apart from what I talked about with MorningGlory, I find that Tetsuo's cell phone in the spoiler
is really nice and of course he had to be at the pachinko parlor. Hitoshi on the other hand was more refreshing to see that he was studying. Meo was really respectful in bowing down in front of Ayaka and Minli but from the looks of it Narumi did not look too happy about it. I did like that Meo pulled on his clothing to get his attention. That was adorable.

I knew right away from the looks of this guy's smile that may have already gotten to Meo's father since he has his cellphone. Perhaps they even killed him already. IMO the combination of Ayaka's scream, Narumi getting double slapped and Yuuko's MOE mode in the spoiler
to be perfect! It was funny and more so when you think that Narumi hurried his ass for nothing.
OK can't hold out anymore to say to Narumi a big fuck you for making Meo cry!

How can you do this Narumi? You got a certain respect with your serious face in the spoiler
but come on guy! You better than that! Damn it! Stupid Narumi making Meo cry!

I have suspicion that Narumi may know that Meo's father was killed through those gangsters that Tetsuo was with or Narumi got information that he thinks may mean that Meo's father is dead or will not come back but this is bad to tell to Meo unless he is sure. Seems the problem stems from a large sum of money. From the start Kusakabe here being the father of the girl featured in this episode, having people follow him, I knew that something is up with gangsterism. I can see that his eyes having changed here that he is in a bad situation while talking to his daughter. I can see from the looks of the following spoiler
that Kusakabe was very happy as a kid with her family.

I am pretty not much surprised that Hiroaki was totally tired after doing a girl but of all things Narumi gives him a massage? Wow now that's service. I found myself ROFL at Narumi in the spoiler
since he blushes at Hiroaki's kiss mark. So he knew exactly what it was and of what it involves. I found it funny that the guys did check out porn on the computer and Narumi had to fix it. From the looks of the guys and Narumi's face here, is looked like Narumi was annoyed by this problem and the guys were desperate in getting the computer fixed since they consider Narumi having God's hands. I did find one of the guys here to be extremely funny with his enthusiasm. Loved the conversation between Narumi and Soichirou in the spoiler
unfortunately Narumi could not shut his mouth and did get Soichirou angry but get this: he still smiled in the end, which I found most interesting in this sudden change. For a minute I though Narumi would be in shit with this guy here only to realize that it was
Tetsuo's stupidity in playing mahjong with these guys here that he lost too much and needed Narumi' money to cover for him. Once in the restaurant I find the big guy in the spoiler
while being drunk was hilarious!

  • Bet no one saw the Pioneer and Bluray symbols on one of Yuuko's PC towers in the spoiler
    Well yes indeed they are there and that means that Yuuko can use Blurays.

  • the end offers us a interesting insight in the spoiler
    looks like Meo's father left a cellphone with the family picture, however I have suspicions that the cellphone is used as a tracking device or beacon to localize the bag where the money is.

  • Looks like the ED strangely features Narumi running in the spoiler
    a generic thing in anime. Most likely means to go till one's end all the way. There seems to be a lot of anime that pushes the message to go out and do what you want instead of doing nothing.
In the end this will hit the fans next episode as there gangsters around Yuuko's place. This could be a nasty rumble next episode.

About the preview, I so waiting for what Yuuko does to Narumi in the spoiler
this shall be the most adorable treatment from Yuuko that Narumi will ever get IMO. There shall be an interesting meeting of Narumi/Soichirou. There will be more drama with a serious confrontation between Narumi with a angry face and Meo, which looks angry too. I hope it shall be better than this one.

I don't understand why Narumi tell her bout her father not coming back, It is only a mere possibility as what Yuuko said , so there is no point of telling her such.

If she is not related by blood to her father than who is her father? Well we know her mother died from something.

Narumi was also stupid in opening many times his mouth in this episode.

Yeah I was going to mention that too but it seems that Hiro is someone who has sex with many girls. Perhaps he is one of those nanpa people where his looks gets him free sex.

Well Nanpa get paid but in a way of like perhaps the hotel and food? Well the norms are different from culture to culture. So for nanpa they could get paid in another form. I am sure Hiroaki may have had that girl in exchange of doing a favor for her as a possibility.

I think the usage for "nanpa" is wrong here. Nanpa is to randomly hit on girls in public, it's an action. Hiro is a gigolo or manwhore or leech whatever you want to call it, and gets girls to feed on, by engaging in nanpa.

Either way he is still doing the nanpa. Yes, nanpa is more of action. So he is technically a nanpa man?

That was messed up. Narumi said all those things, but he doesn't have definitive prove that Meo's father left her alone. I guess that phone call she made is finally starting to show results.

i guess nanpa-ing is part of a gigolo's job in a way so either way it's somewhat the same; he didnt get the photo by doing it did he ._.;? that would be awkward lulz

i loled so hard when the 4th's gang got a virus in the comp XD that was comical
so looks like kusakabe called her dad which meant she led the gangsters to hanamaru; wonder if there'll be some random action next episode to drive them away or something.
Narumi is stupid for blurting out the possibility of her dad leaving, bet you kusakabe musume will go out now and search for her dad -_-; great going Narumi >_>;
All in all, looks like this anime's turning to be one of the better ones this season (pray it doesn't end up like yumekui merry with that horrid ending)

Meo is super cute. I feel bad for saying this but some of the characters in the show seem to assume that everyone is a good person (her father would never leave her) and they might want to stop thinking like that all the time.

Not really sure about this episode. It was lacking something. Or maybe it's because it was standard episode length compared to previous one. Either way it's okay and it left off in a good part. Hope things pick up next time.

"น่ารัก" means "cute". And she's cute. I bet there are Thai staffs in production team. That word is not messed up like one in LN.
BTW, Anime/Manga always draw Thai character with Tan skin. Lots of us are now as light as Japanese c'mon.

The episode was pretty good, and judging by the way the episode length is, each mystery would be 2 episodes long.

Narumi, you said another stupid statement to Meo. ><

This was interesting, I liked it :) Seems like the cellphone was a trap or something? The ending was a bit confusing, does this mean that they think that Alice's dad has been killed? And did she call him in the end (when that guy said something like "looks like he's finally here")? Guess we'll find out next episode :) I just wished they would stop the annoying and misplaced fsanservice... the Alice-gets-forced-into-a-bath "joke" is getting old >.<

maybe it's him getting personal with the issue, I mean, his dad rarely comes home. But still, don't take it out on someone else.

Blehh Meo acts like she's about five and all the other characters treat her like she is too. >_< Pissed me off. Her voice is ridiculous too as well lol.

I lol'ed at the flashback in theairport. "Japan is beautiful!" NO, YOU'RE IN AN AIRPORT, THEY LOOK THE SAME WHEREVER YOU GO. Like, if she'd ran to the window and looked out it would have made sense, but it didn't.

Also I liked the ED for the first episode much better...I hope they go back to that.

Actually airports are usually quite different and they are the first thing you see when going to a new country by plane so it made sense to me..

God, Meo's voice is annoying.

And what's wrong with voicing your opinions anyway? Sure, I can accept Meo's reaction to what Narumi said, but Ayaka was like quite random. Women.

First episode was better.
And somehow, I'm sure JC will pull something later that may or may not spell doom for the show. ( ¬‿¬)

I can’t stand Alice’s way of talking… It just comes off as annoying and arrogant. Ugh.

So every case is going to be two episodes long, eh? Uh, I liked the first episode better; and I don’t think that is saying much. It’s Meo’s fault; I’m sure.

And, J.C. Staff, go die in a hole. I despise your fan service.
I think, then procrastinate.

Weren't there a few in Blue Lagoon as well?

I have to say that i like the client in this case.
Seeing her father in trouble with the Yakuza probably suggests that he is dead tho they didn't mention this the Meo.
He was probably trying to help his daughter escape from the Yakuza and the money is probably for her to start a new life the question is is she gonna use it and how is she gonna use it.
The me it seems like she won't be able to get out of Japan with that kind of money with her there is no form of authority that would let her go quietly and most of them would try to investigate how she got the money and where it came from.
She could start a life somewhere else but if the Yakuza where to know her whereabouts she would be in a lot of trouble even if it's just to get her father.

Then there is also the question of how are group of detectives are going to deal with the Yakuza there not a easy group to deal with and you get in serious trouble if they knew what your trying to pull.
There is also the question of what they are going to do ones they find Meo's father.

And this episode also showed the difference between Japanese and other woman when a men sees them half naked, there pretty innocent.

Major really sounds like Mutsurini from Bakatest so I can't take his speculation seriously XDD
-checks seiyuu-
oh no wonder =.=

And whats with Narumi becoming an assistant so fast and Alice relying/trusting on him? They all got closer in an instant XDD I thought Alice would be like Victorique who doesn't trust people at first so I guess this is one of the differences between the two.

Well, I don't fly a lot (actually...I've only flown once, so you can basically ignore my opinion haha) but all the airports I've seen irl and in films/TV/anime including the one in this look EXACTLY the same to me, other than having different shops and stuff, which she also didn't mention. (I realise she was just a kid and I'm being nitpicky here, sorry, lol.)
