「ぼくのかけら」 (Boku no Kakera)
"Pieces of Me"

With the world in a rut about Ayaka's suicide attempt, I was elated to see that she is still alive.

「きみについて」 (Kimi ni Tsuite)
"About You"

Well, if you were expecting something big to happen in this show -- it just happened.

「あの夏の二十一球」 (Ano Natsu no Nijyuichi Kyuu)
"That Summer of 21 Pitches"

While some people may have been quick to judge Kami-Sama, I believe that it's still a really interesting show that has its own merits. Shifting gears back to everyday life living amongst NEETs and Yakuza, I think this was a nice change of pace.

「僕は運命を信じない」 (Boku ha Unmei wo Shinjinai)
"I Don't Believe in Fate"

I knew it!

「僕にできるすべて」 (Boku ni Dekiru Subete)
"Everything I Can Do"

While this episode started out a little anti-climatic, with nothing really occurring to push the plot along, it really did well in illustrating what Narumi means to everyone. As the newest member of this group of NEETs and Thugs, color me surprised that he holds such strong emotions for a group of people he barely even knows.

「僕は負けそうだ」 (Boku ha Makesouda)
"I'm Probably Going to Lose"

Even though there isn't an immediate mystery at hand, I'm glad that there are other aspects to this show that keep grabbing my attention.

「あいつは俺を知ってる」 (Aitsu wa Ore wo Shitteru)
"He Knows Me"

Yondaime’s group is planning a concert for their girls’ indie rock band, and they ask Narumi for help promoting the event.

「はなまるスープ顛末記」 (Hanamaru Suupu Tenmatsuki)
"The Hanamaru Soup Incident"

This week’s case: a mysterious man with sunglasses who always takes one bite out of his ramen then leaves.

「僕が二人にできること」 (Boku ga Futari ni Dekiru Koto)
"What I Can Do For Those Two"

I feel like there’s a huge breach of privacy going on here with Alice’s incredible hoard of information, largely gathered by tapping phone calls, hacking databases and secretly tracking people.
