Review of advance copy received from Edelweiss+
Rookie officer, Nao Ippongi, is assigned to a station where her superior officer is psychic named Meguru Chojo. He can read people’s minds, move objects with his mind, and trace psychometric energy. He’s arrogant and has strange work methods, and he drives Ippongi insane. But she’s not going to switch stations.
This had a really old-fashioned feeling, art, and narrative style. If people hadn’t been using smart phones, I would’ve thought this was from the sixties. Each chapter had a new story, and they were all a bit insane and sort of angry. I didn’t find them interesting enough to continue. Art was good despite the chosen style.

Rookie policewoman Ippongi initially joined the Force to help keep her family dojo protected and out of the yakuza crosshairs. She now finds herself assigned to the backwater Chinjuku station, partnered with the notorious slacker, loose cannon, and powerful psychic, Mujuru Chojo. More than half of his hair has gone white from the overuse of his psychic abilities, which he constantly uses on a large scale -- and not always on slacker-y things. Ippongi soon comes to realize that Chojo may be hiding out in Chinjuku to fly under the radar and build toy models all day, but he is actually kind of good at his job.
While there is a slight through line of story to these chapters, mostly this first volume is told in semi-slice-of-life format with reoccurring characters being the thing tying everything together. Readers to get to know Chojo better as time goes on, and the ways he tries to get out of doing his police work are kind of hilarious. Deep down, Chojo does care about the public around his precinct, even if he is a grade-a jerk while doing it. Each chapter adds another funny character to the mix who will pop in and out of the station. I wonder if that’s a trend that will continue because that will be quite a cast of characters to keep up with.
There are a few moments of violence, especially when Ippongi is judo throwing people around or when Chojo is using his psychic abilities to throw large objects at people. Otherwise, buddy-cop story is mostly silly.
