    Thoughts:

    This show is about Hanada Yoneko (neko-chan 😆 ), who’s a god sent for the police. One day a female criminal made her realize she has to get married now or never. However, that’s a problem. That is because she attracts and falls for criminals. Therefore it has become a semi-law that men she gets involved with and who are connected to a case are without a doubt criminals.

    She wants to get married but can’t!! She gets encouragements from her senpais (for a reason). Yoneko isn’t exactly picky as she goes for all kinds of stereotypes. The good thing is her boss: “If you report it(her radar hit)… we can forgive any kind of love.” => Any love is forgiven for the sake of justice.

    If only that were true with the Japanese police force. The policy in reality is that members of the force cannot have criminals in their family. This means either they cannot join the force to begin with or have to leave. And if they marry a foreigner their career’s over and they get posted somewhere in the countryside. This is about the honor of the police and you know how serious they are about their hypocritical honor.

    Anyway, the situations are kind of amusing and you get to see pick up tricks of the criminals. The actors are mostly veterans, not top notch but nothing to complain about.

    The cases are secondary in this show. There’s not as much riddles to see here if you are looking for such cases. But that doesn’t mean the cases aren’t without merit. For example episode 3 is sending us for a loop until Yoneko intervenes. Hint: it’s easy, consider her radar being absolute! Scaryyy!!! Case aside the real shocking revelations are at the end of the episode. ;)

    So rather than criminal cases the real issues are human nature, relationships, circumstances etc.

    Overall, it’s an OK relationship show.
