With the killer clown case resolved, our team moves on to investigate bombings targeting high school students. Something I noticed in vol 1 was how little attention was given to the victims as people. In vol 2, the students at risk are obnoxious, and I don't really care if they do get bombed off the face of the earth. The panty shots and nudity (ecchi?) were tedious in vol 1 but even more annoying in vol 2. I won't continue the series; I'm not thrilled by the story, and I have enough to read without seeking out sexist bullshit.

The first case ends in this volume, and the second case begins. The ending of the first case was clever enough, and the second case is off to an interesting start. I wish they'd have collected this series so there's one case in each volume, but I guess it doesn't matter, since I have all ten volumes.

I found the Bob Kato character to be way too cartoony and weird in the first volume. I think I'm getting used to him now.

I'm all for mystery stories, but could do with less fanservice.

1 out of 5.

Ayaki is assigned as an undercover school girl in a school full of bombs. The criminal calls themself Chicken.

It is even sillier and more unbelievable than volume 1. Feels like even more fan service. Oh another pantsu shot! I feel sorry for her fiance, he is clearly going to be dumped for Himuro by volume 10.

Series dropped.

Fan service, crime, drama, cops. I don't know what else to say about it.
