Diadaptasi dari novel berjudul Joker Game, sepanjang 3 jilid ini dan ada 5 kisah yg disajikan dengan artwork yg baik oleh Shimotsuki sensei.
Berkisah ttg agensi D yg merupakan badan pelatihan spionase.
Mengawali pengenalan organisasi ini lewat tokoh yg sangat nasionalis dan berpegang teguh pada bushido Jepang yg tentu saja bertentangan dengan prinsip dasar mata-mata. Sempat kurang intens pada cerita Ghost, namun lebih baik lewat cerita Robinson yg bersetting di Inggris.
Namun sayangnya kisah ini tidak dikembangkan lebih lanjut utk menggali sang devil king Letkol Yuki. Sehingga kurang greget saja dalam mengakhiri. Ditutup dengan
Meskipun begitu secara keseluruhan, serial pendek ini cukup baik dalam menyampaikan adaptasi novel dan sisi pandang dunia spionase. Selain itu juga memberikan gambaran dengan baik terkait Jepang di tahun 1930an yg mulai berkecamuk dan memainkan posisi dalam dunia spionase.
Overall 7.1/10 menurut sy

Slightly better than the first volume, though the second story of the first volume sure is memorable. At least fortunately in this volume there is no such 'easy-to-shout-black-or-white-character' as Sakuma in the first volume (glad he's not returning, lol). There are two stories in this volume where the second story is still continued to the next volume. The main POV characters for both stories are D organization's Spies.
I liked the way this espionage story keeps it low-profile, still offering the quiet and rather realistic spying activity, well, for a manga story. There's not much actions or such things that draws attention like in spy movies.
The way the characters drawn is also quite appealing: the expressions when the spies acting like ordinary people, then when in their spy mode, and the way some faces are just interesting especially for both antagonists (Marks is notably strangely scary).
It's too bad that there are only 3 volumes for this title series, as it's started to get interesting and showing some more potentials (the first volume feels like mostly an introduction to the D's espionage world). I want to see a POV from the victim of D's spies or a larger main story.
What makes me hesitate to give it 4 stars, is that I believe it can be better. I believe there are many plot holes, and the absence of background story which can make the story stronger, but it's an enjoyable espionage reading regardless.
