QUICK FACTS
PREMISE
In the fictional Hakata ward of Fukuoka, about half of the population are hitmen, detectives, and professional "revengers". Crossdressing hitman loner Xianming Ling finds himself betrayed and a target of his previous employer, and begrudgingly joins forces with the perpetually-chill private eye Zenji Banba, and Banba's band of misfits.

DISLIKED...
–
poor fit between the "cool & jazzy" vibe, baseball motifs, and violent gory storylines
–
took a few episodes to settle into a groove
