I'm curious why the 'gentleman' keeps looking like he's breaking the fourth wall. The end of Picasso, which was kind of abrupt and into more drama from all angles. A new boss, UD moving into place, accomplice accusations and the spotlight turning to Yui, who of course decides to run off on her own. It doesn't feel like Kou did anything in this one, apart from the dirty dream. Hoping its coming to an end soon.

Kokonoe is removed from his post and the post of the Chief goes to a Cheater? what? And now we learn about a new 'Cheater' killer called Reverse. And he's the one who killed Kui's parents and brother. Now she swears revenge and we also learn about Yui's history and now let's continue and Keep on Reading.

I have always loved comics, and I have I can. I love comics to bits, may the comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and hope always to love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics, Diamond Comics, or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I just want to Keep on Reading.

Mizuki can absolutely not be trusted and I hope unit 6 figured this stuff out before she messes anything up. Reverse is ruthless omg but I support Yui going after him because of how he killed her whole family. It’s absolutely personal

really cheaters in the house and no IA

The villains in this story are too transparent and the fanservice(nudity increase in each volume) is just showing weakness from the author to get readers.

Picasso came to an end a bit soon, but I am interested in the direction this is going. Obviously a bit left to really resolve this tale so I’m not sure if #6 actually wraps the series but it looks like there’s only that issue left sooo we’ll see!

We get more nudie shots, if anyone is wondering. No rape, though... aw...

The bomb from the last volume had no casualties, but Unit Six needs some wins. The superintendent general (their highest-ranking boss) is the next target. Comissioner Yokoyama takes over from Kokonoe who is sent into the protection program because of the cheater Manhunter. He quickly figures out the higher ups want him out of the way for the plan they have for Kuh.

The good guys suspect that the bomber is already near the superintendent when they notice that the phone to his meeting room is cut and the elevators are disabled. They convince the meeting attendees, all senior officers, to leave the room, but they still get killed by Ud's backup Toru. This is a major hit for the police's credibility. Picasso turns out to be Saki's lost sister's former fiancee. Ud gets rid of him after the bombing.

The good guys get Mizuki Murasame as chief, though she admits she is a cheater. It gets worse when a man named Akutsu is chosen as superintendent - he is Ud. The Picasso investigation reaches Saki who is arrested as a suspect.

The next case is again personal, this time for Yui. Reverse, the cheater who killed her family, has resurfaced. She knows that he picks his targets from a magazine, so she has the editor do a story about her.

Won’t lie, thought the chief was gonna be in on it but he got taken away…but then again it’s obvious that the person who took him away is UD, horrible attempt at trying to hide his identity when it’s so obvious. Picasso seems somewhat interested but then boom, he died. Also wtf was up with Yui’s backstory, first day back to school after her family’s death (also her dad and brother look like UD and his gopher, how are we gonna ignore that) and the guys in school instantly go “I’m trying to do her” SHE’S LITERALLY LOST EVERYTHING AND HAD THE DEADEST LOOK ON HER FACE AND THAT’S WHAT YOU THINK?!?!? HOW WAS THIS MADE!?!?

Not sure why it has so little stars. The art style is gorgeous and the story is very interesting. A bit excessive on the fanservice, but I've seen worse (talking to you love hina)

Not up to the prior books. Plot seems to meander.
