Futaba Rentarou inherits a detective agency from his late father, a legendary figure amongst the colourful inhabitants of the Nikotamagawa shopping district. With no family and no ambitions, Rentarou is reluctant to take up the legacy of a second generation detective, until the identical twins Souju and Sara show up on his doorstep with a job request that changes his life forever.
Two years later at the age of 21, Rentarou's carefree daily life with the twins is disrupted by events that forces him to redefine himself once again: Sara manages to blow up Rentarou's detective office, which doubles as his home, whilst trying to shake off the Chinese mafia and Rentarou himself is held hostage by the friendly neighbourhood Yakuza crime syndicate for an incident involving his cat and the boss' bird.

kinda enjoyable. After 2-3 episodes you will start to think about dropping it, but don't. =) good story development, good characters.

This is a very specific type of story. The only real thing it has from futakoi is the characters (their personality and drawing is the same). The rest is different. May I say, this is almost 2 different anime with the same characters (definitly) and setting (almost). I liked the first part (until the end of ep 8 ) I'd give an 8. For the 2nd part... a 5. I didn't buy the drama and the angst. Watch this id you you like these kinds of stuff (nudity exists but it shows nothing usable)
