Einzig ihr attraktiver Lehrer Taisuke Henkyoji, der mit seiner lockeren Art die Herzen der Schülerinnen im Sturm erobert, vermag es, ihr Schmetterlinge im Bauch zu bescheren. Als sich die beiden am Valentinstag näherkommen, kann Nanami ihr Glück kaum fassen. Doch dann beginnt Taisuke, seine Schülerin mit anrüchigen Forderungen in die Enge zu treiben. In ihrer verzweifelten Suche nach Liebe und Anerkennung unterwirft Nanami sich gehorsam seinem Willen – bis schließlich ein tragisches Unglück geschieht …

You know its fiction due to the fact that the cops are the good guys

[Daria · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think I would overall rate this series a 3☆ out of 5.
The concept is pretty cool but it got repetitive. People do bad things and then Dan kills them. Retribution, yay. It just lacked the depth I was expecting from this kind of story.

[Rach · Rating 4 out of 5]

The way this volume focuses on one criminal for so long (three chapters instead of the typical one or two) made the ending extra satisfying. Chief Dan continues his escapades of good deeds and I am rooting for him!! But I also continue to be intrigued by his mysterious background. And I wonder if he will ever make a mistake, but I think he may be too good for that.

Aquí se apoyan las rights and wrongs de Hiroki Dan, sobre todo las wrongs (y ni tanto porque esta gente se lo merecía).


*2025
Seguiré esperando actualización hasta que den los detalles del novio muerto de Dan T_T. Cómo extraño este manga, espero que autore este bien.

*2026
Hiroki Dan vuelve en julio de este año!!! Esto es un milagro gay, he dicho!!!

I love it when bad people get their comeuppance and these people are baddddd okay. Dan might be a psycho but all of his kills are justified tbh also he’s so funny 😭 like he just be doing shit.

[Jacob · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a morbidly fun read. The manga focuses on Hiroki Dan, a high-up detective that has a lil quirk: he’s a serial killer, killing people that commit heinous crimes in order to see them despair like they cause others to. Thus creating an oddly fun and easy to read set of revenge porn stories. The people he kills are almost comically evil at times, as are the ways Dan commits these murders, so you end up rooting for him and enjoying how he goes about things. There is a lot of sensitive topics and actions depicted in this, and the title lives up to its name. But if you can get past that and want a relatively simple “vigilante” justice story? You’ve got one right here.

Note: As of the date of this review (Feb 5, 2023), this series has been placed on hiatus since July 2022 and has yet to be resumed. This review covers the full series up to the end of all current material in Vol. 5.

สมุดบันทึกความดีของดันคุง 😌

อ่านเอามันส์ล้วนๆ อย่าคาดหวังกับพล็อตเพราะมันโหวงเหวงมาก ชนิดที่เรียกว่าไม่มียังได้เลย 5555

คิดซะว่ามันคือภาคแยกสำหรับคนที่ยังไม่หนำใจกับความบิดเบี้ยวของดันในภาคหลัก มารอรับชมวิธีการฆาตกรรมสุดวิปริตของพ่อหนุ่มดันในแต่ละตอนก็พอ เน้นสะใจ ไม่เน้นเส้นเรื่อง

อย่าคิดเยอะด้วยเพราะอาจจะเจอช่องโหว่เต็มไปหมด อย่างเช่น ไม่มีใครระแคะระคายจนถึงปัจจุบันได้ไง หรือดันพร็อบฆาตกรรมเยอะมาก เอาไปซุกไว้ตรงไหน 😂

ถึงพล็อตจะเบาหวิวแต่ขอให้ 4 ดาวเพราะ

1. ลายเส้นสวยถูกใจ
2. อิดันหล่อ (และชั่วมาก แต่หล่อเป็นส่วนมาก)
3. พาซุซุ <3
4. วิธีฆ่าบรรเจิดเลิศไม่ซ้ำใคร
5. ตลก (ตลกจริงไม่ได้โม้ แบบทำเอาหลุดขำกลางคันได้อะ)

4,3/5 tuve miedo al principio 🧍‍♀️ pero muy bueno aunque sí q algo repetitivo y aun así seguiría leyendo así q esta bien, me recuerda un poco a death note debido al tema de castigar a los abusadores y el personaje de Dan en general me genera un poco de debate aunque igual m gusta y es muy guapo uejejeje

Si me preguntan no lo recomendaría por la narrativa q (de nuevo) es repetitiva, en si la obra no la veo mal pero puede q a otros les parezca aburrido y tal vez no genere curiosidad pero darle una miradita no está mal!!!

[Finley Orion · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have absolutely loved this series. I’m so sad that it’s been on hiatus for a few years due to the mangaka’s poor health, and I pray that they are able to heal and recover. 🙏 Even if it never gets finished, it was an enjoyable experience nonetheless! I highly recommend it because even though it has no current end in sight, it’s an entertaining bloodbath of a story that promises ~oh so satisfying~ revenge in the most brutal of ways. Chief Dan is the MAN. 🔥🤌😏

[Efsane · Rating 5 out of 5]

E bu daha devam edermiş gibi bitti. Dedektif Dan neden bunları yapıyor, gelecek ciltte bla bla yazıyordu sonunda ohoo seri kesin iptal edilmiş Japonya’da ondan böyle kalmış.

Neyse bu cilt en beğendiğim cilt oldu. Prestiji ve zenginliği ile kendini bir bok sanan bir öğretmenin tüm foyası meydana çıkıyor, ama nasıl çıkmak. Çok güzel bi intikam alındı bence.
İkinci hikaye ise o kadar mutlu etti ki beni bir ailenin kurtuluşu.

Sözümü seriden ve bu ciltte geçen Japon Atasözü ile bitirmek istiyorum.
“Gökyüzünün (Cennetin) ağları geniştir ama oradan hiçbir şey kaçamaz.”
Yani kötü bir şey yaparsan bir süre paçayı kurtarabilirsin ama eninde sonunda yakalanırsın. Tam bu seriye göre bir atasözü.

I loved this series, wish it would continue its been 4 years now since the last volume :(. It lacks a deep storyline but it still keeps you hooked!

[yen nguyen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This series went on hiatus in 2022 and as of 2025 is back with a new artist, Ryo Shinou (who, honestly, is the reason I'm reading this now even though the series has been on my TBR for a while). We'll see when Goodreads adds the new series (Doom).

I'm kinda disappointed in this series, to be honest. I'm sure there is a lot more to learn about Hiroki Dan, but we're five volumes in and we've barely gotten any crumbs of his life or his inner psychological self. Maybe I have to read Trace to understand him better...but I don't really want to. The series also kind of lost a bit of its brutality over the course of it all. Or maybe I just got more desensitized? It's not like I wasn't already desensitized to the violence at the beginning.

I think part of it is that it just got a little bit repetitive, the way he would just swoop in at the end and deliver some poetic justice to the criminals. I mean, that's the whole point of the series so you're expecting it, but still. It's all got the same structure and it just becomes a bit less interesting all the time. Yeah, they all commit different crimes, but all the stuff Dan does matches the crimes they commit, and then it just kind of ends up as a rehashing of the crimes that we just saw happen.

And it is still never revealed how Dan manages to get away with all of this. He's just like some invincible guy who can do everything, I guess. The things wealthy people can do.

[Benangi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sesuai judul, isinya memang brutal. Tidak heran kenapa manga ini ratenya 21+
Ada sensasi tidak biasa yang disajikan di manga ini

Dua kasus di volume 5 ini lumayan ringkas dan tidak perlu banyak hal untuk dijelaskan karena ekspresi karakter sudah lebih dari cukup menyiratkan segalanya. Membaca ini sungguh mengacak acak perasaan dan moral. Selama membaca, menyadarkanku akan fakta bahwa dunia bukanlah meja hijau yang bisa selalu berlaku adil.

Andai Dan tidak menyingkirkan orang-orang jahat semacam itu, aku tidak bisa dengan yakin berpikir apakah kedepannya para korban mendapatkan nasib yang lebih baik. Kendati demikian perlu diketahui bahwa tindakan yang dilakukan Dan memang tidak bisa dibenarkan, akan tetapi membayangkan hal-hal jahat hanya dapat 'dibenahi' lewat jalur kekerasan di saat yang bersamaan terasa melegakan. Persis seperti kutipan di manga: cantik, tapi entah kenapa terasa menyeramkan... seperti iblis.

[évan · Rating 3 out of 5]

It became more interesting than the previous volumes by giving hints about the protagonist's motivation. Those hints were particularly intriguing since:

(a) Dan's motivation seems to be related to an old same-sex relationship while those who admire him expect him to like very beautiful girls having very high standards (lol).;

(b) Dan seems to both detest and love this person. Maybe he was betrayed by him? Dunno...

In any case, despite those hints being quite intriguing, they were still feeble, sparse, and they were provided in a very slow pace.

[Jaye Berry]

Aww so tragic this is it for now, the series is on hiatus. 😔

Gay CONFIRMED. The way our boy literally just stumbles into situations goes on.😭 Nasty ass women abusers deserve it frfr. And god Dan is so unhinged and chaotic.

I wish he had an enemy though, someone just as good as him that he can't seem to catch. I wanna see him lose his cool, go even crazier. Even while doing what he does he stays so calm like nah, spice it up !!

[Sandra R. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nun heißt es leider warten, bis es weitergeht.
Und wie ich gespannt bin, denn auch wenn man nach wie vor nicht viel über Dan erfährt, es ist so ein wohltuendes Gefühl, wenn er sich immer wieder um all diese bösartigen Menschen kümmert. Sein Augenzucken löst bei mir jede Anspannung. 😅
Und wie schön einfach, dass der Hund ein fester Bestandteil geworden ist. 🥹❤️
Würde mich sehr freuen, wenn da bald mal eine richtige Storyline zu lesen wäre.

[Lou Lou · Rating 4 out of 5]

Man. I'm not tryna be sounds ungrateful because Kei Koga decided to continue the project without Izawa, but the sequel of this manga just not hits in the spot like the this version. I feel like the sequel lack of Dan's personality— like there's nothing else beside him being a silly serial killer. I wanna know more about him, his family, his personality or anything elses! But again, glad Kei Koga didn't just decided to abandoned this series though.

[Zita Azlina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Honestly this is not bad, but I guess it's just goes toooooooooooo not bad that it become chronically mundane. Nothing remarkable tbh. I can't symphatize with the main character because he is bland as fuck. But I like the bonfire scene though and his past left me curious. Hugs to all the women and the poor who suffer injustice from these assholes :') We need a less brutal Dan irl lol 💀💀 /j

[Elsa Triin · Rating 4 out of 5]

these 4 stars are for the... unique christmas tree. if you know, you know

i'd really like to know more about Dan's backstory, but i believe the author is on hiatus because of health issues :( if this ever gets continued, you bet your ass i'll be waiting with bated breath. we need more wannabe Dexters (but cooler)!!!!

[Latifah S Ningrum · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kasus pembalasan Dan untuk tokoh kriminal di volume ini menurutku cukup setimpal sama kejahatan yang dilakukan sama pelaku. Seneng juga bisa liat Pazuzu nongol dan sehat-sehat di sini. Dan baru tahu kalau di volume ini ada pemberitahuan tentang kondisi author. Semoga author bisa sehat kembali jadi cerita Dan bisa berlanjut.

[Ady Weasley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dan regresa e inesperadamente se topa con un caso que lo hará trabajar en la justicia. Esta ocasión el caso abarca casi todo el tomo y como siempre Dan no nos decepciona , aunque esperaba un castigo más espectacular para nuestro criminal.

Pero me recompenso con el mini capítulo del final, ese castigo fue satisfactorio

Volume 5: (Chapters 16-19)

Goodbye pervert teacher and Merry Xmas to the abusive leach Step-dad.

[dari ★ · Rating 5 out of 5]

definitivno najbolja manga koju sam skorije čitala, želim da se mangaka što pre oporavi da saznamo nešto više o hirokiju jer je taman počelo malo klupko da se odvija od njega

mnogo zabavno i satisfying za čitanje stvarno jedva čekam još da izađe

[MunWolfieSNM · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ayyy este me ha encantadooooo. La primera historia me ha gustado mucho, me he reido mucho con Dan, y la segunda me ha parecido tan tierna.

No sé qué dirá de mi lo mucho que disfruto este manga, pero tampoco me importa.

[Lauren · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really wish they had continued with this series. the one by one case format was great for a while but after 4 volumes I really wanted to know more about the main character and the regular supporting characters
