The animation's...not great, but the plot is interesting and keeps me on the edge of my seat because of how close the main characters are to getting outed.

I have to say what makes this series shine if the characters for sure. The MC, the father, is really a nice guy. He is a bit timid in the very beginning but he genuinely cares for his daughter and will honestly do everything in his power to make sure that no harm comes to her. His interests as a mystery novelist was a nice touch but he is character who does seem smart enough to pull off Mateo, Alex (December 1, 2022).

Kyoichi agrees to work with Tetsuo to find Nobuto, but threatens to kill him and frame him for murdering Nobuto if they cannot do so by the deadline of Friday, however Tetsuo does not share this information with Kasen. After considering his options, Tetsuo decides to create the impression that Nobuto is still alive. They interview Nobuto's girlfriend Hibiki at the club where she works and she mentions Nobuto's exploitation of Reika, enraging Tetsuo, however he manages to extract some useful information from her - Nobuto ripped off his gang by carrying out a pre-planned robbery himself. As Tetsuo and Kyoichi are about to leave they are coerced into carrying out a job for the club owners, to intercept a transaction between two violent gangs, the Ryuken-gumi and the Ouko-tai. At the meeting point on a deserted road, Kyoichi realizes that they are doomed and tries to drive off, but he is shot and wounded as they try to escape.Kasen is the best character. When she learns about her husband killing Nobuto, she's like "Cool. What do you want me to do?" But it makes me wonder if this was her first rodeo... But somewhere along the road (literally speaking as well), it falls off significantly as the author keeps introducing more characters and subplots. The story continues to 'escalate' (higher stakes technically - but less interesting and more generic), but pacing slows significantly and the rapid fire 'panic moments' at the beginning are replaced with longer, drawn out interactions and events. Adapted from the manga series "My Home Hero" (マイホームヒーロー) written by Yamakawa Naoki (山川直輝) and illustrated by Asaki Masashi (朝基まさし). Edit Translation So, I recently presented my thesis for my master’s degree, and against my better judgment, you guessed it, it was about anime, history, retrospective etc. Now, I do not mention this to say that my opinion matters, nor to gain credibility and say that I am right about what I am saying, but none the less having read almost every word that has ever been written in English about anime that even has the slightest academic value, really widens one’s horizons and perspective about the phenomenon. Also, whether you agree with my opinion or not, whether I am bashing or complementing a show, I’m always making a case, I am using reasoning. I am also at a point in my life that I have the knowledge, experience and self awareness, to be able to state that something is good, is of a certain quality but even so I do not like it or that it is bad, it is trash but even so I like it anyway. That sounds really weird and contradictory, I know, alas that is what some people have to go through based on what they chose to do in life, for the vast majority of people what they like is good and what they don’t like is bad, simple as that. Anyway, where am I going with this, as additional research for my paper, I tried, keyword here is TRIED, to watch almost every seasonal anime for the last couple of seasons. Cause I had to make a case for some of my closing remarks about the current state of the anime industry. More or less what I said is that even though the industry is probably at its highest point in terms of popularity and finally it seems that it has solved the oldest and biggest problem that has been plaguing it since its inception, which has always has been for anime to be profitable, unfortunately it is at its lowest point in terms content, in terms of creativity, originality and almost every other quality that isn’t about the audiovisual improvements technology offers.

The protagonist is always in danger whether it be with the syndicate or the police. It manages to balance out the character's actions so you don't know for sure what is going to happen. Erwan Lafleuriel of IGN France called the first volume of My Home Hero a "very effective thriller" and compared its premise to the American television series Breaking Bad. [57] See also [ edit ]As it progresses, the actions of the characters/subplots start to make less sense and the things that happen seem more 'random'. The sense Moral Myopia: Matsuri in spades. For one, he seeks to find those responsible for his son's disappearance with plans of killing them, yet he's perfectly fine with Nobuto having murdered several of his girlfriends as well as all his other crimes. Tetsuo even points this out to him, not that Matsuri seems to care considering he's just as if not more deranged than Nobuto. Dramatic Irony: After interrogating Tetsuo and concluding that he and his family does seem to be innocent of Nobuto's disappearance, Kyoichi says that he'll likely just have to frame him as Nobuto's killer to create a convenient scapegoat to placate Yoshitatsu's demands to find out the truth behind his son's vanishing, pointing out that the sequence of events prior to that make most sense if Tetsuo killed him and disposed of his body. His word choice implies that he personally doubts such a spineless salaryman could be capable of the act, and is merely going with that option as an easy solution to his problem, but that's exactly what happened. in Japanese).
