City Hunter - 43: Utako's Cookie Anniversary--Moles On Her Chest And A Love Poem

Title:City Hunter
Episode:43: Utako's Cookie Anniversary--Moles On Her Chest And A Love Poem
Synopsis
Kaori finds a woman's XYZ note at the station, and, knowing Ryo, would rather pass, but business has been too poor lately to be picky. When the client comes to explain her problem, Kaori has the feeling she's seen her somewhere before. When the woman recites a Tanka (short poem) she recognizes her as famous poet Utako Yumeno. Utako needs help because she's been repeatedly harassed by perverts, which is especially strange considering "I've never once had a relationship. My love is always one-sided". Ryo's plan is to shadow her and grab any additional perverts who bother her. Sure enough, a man approaches her in the park--but he doesn't exactly seem like your typical pervert...
Comments
As I've mentioned before, I think City Hunter is at it's best when the episodes don't involve life-threatening violence--slapstick violence (Kaori's mallet, for example) is better, plus the comedy as well. That said, this was a fun episode since it turned out that the men who had been getting a little too close to Utako weren't really "perverts" after all.
