The story:
Some of the first members of the 2nd Unit, these two are opposites in the truest sense. You have Kazusa, who is the erudite with the tastes to match, and Yutaka, who is boisterous with down to earth tastes. Each lending their skills to what will become the 2nd unit.
In this sub-story, you see what they initially think of each other when they are paired together as they are paired together in tackling some serial robberies. They touch on Yutaka’s past with his sister, and how his personal feelings have touched on his life as a cop.
My recommendation:
I found the ending very rushed and left a lot to be desired. They bring up this core plot of Yuzuki’s attack and how Yutaka feels about it when he first joins the 2nd Unit. This plot element carries through 2 chapters as Kazusa and Yutaka connect the dots between their current case and the past, but then they just leave the reader hanging, favoring to flash forward to where they are now as a team. It feel very disconnected and abrupt. It would have been better if they concentrated on the past rather trying to connect it to where the 2nd Unit is today.
I would’ve liked to see the two of them work through what Yutaka’s feelings about Yuzuki’s case, and in turn become a better team as a result.
Should I purchase it at full price?
Simple answer: no. Metro PD has better sub stories that give you more character depth.
