| Episode: | 2: Please Kill Me! Crosshairs Don't Become a Pretty Girl |
| Synopsis | |

| Comments | |
| This early episode has a sort of charm, a sense of humor, that is often lacking when you get into the episodes numbered in the twenties and thirties. The way Ryo is almost always one step ahead of potentially dangerous people is highly amusing. The surprise ending was great--probably not really plausible, but that doesn't matter if it's truly funny, and it was. Also, Mitsuko has figured out the only way to frighten Ryo with a gun (it depends on where you point it). | |
