Synopsis

Although the city of Fukuoka might look relatively peaceful at first glance, in actuality it houses a thriving mixture of dangerous individuals such as killers, detectives, and professional revenge seekers right beneath its surface. Among their number is Zenji Banba, a laidback and observant detective who is investigating the work of other hitmen companies in the area. However, Banba might not be the only one with a bone to pick with these organizations, as Xianming Lin, a crossdressing male hitman in the employ of one such company begins getting fed up with his lack of jobs and pay. One day, after Lin's current target commits suicide before the hitman could reach him, his company refuses to pay him even half the amount they were originally supposed to for the assassination. Frustrated, Lin requests another mission and is offered the job of taking out Banba, whom his organization believes has been interfering with their business. However, when Banba arrives at his home and finds the hitman inside, Lin surprisingly doesn't even attempt to kill him. Instead, he offers the detective another option: to join him and form a team. With the offer on the table, exactly how will Banba respond, and just what plans does Lin have in store for the underground world of Fukuoka? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Okay, this episode is certainly better. Lin and Banba interactions were charming, Saito is now set up, and we have a good cliffhanger. The show has now pulled me in with its gorgeous animation and incredible opening and ending theme. This is becoming a sleeper hit for me.
This is certainly an obscure anime; it has a wonderful theme though. They introduced a lot of characters in this episode, felt like Lin and Banba were enough. However, this series certainly got me hooked onto seeing what is going on in the Hakata's district for hitmen.
