second best cop yaoi after Homicide Life On The Street
I thought it was just gonna be a regular murder mystery with some yaoi sprinkled in but then the ghost of a dead girl turned up and that’s how I knew I was in an OVA.
PRIDE SUMMER 2022 🌈
As far as OVAs go, this didn't do a ton to get me interested in this piece of 90s yaoi.
It is interesting to compare the BL we get today with yesteryear's representation. Fake, as a concept, feels alright. In an alternate universe we may have even gotten a procedural out of it. Law & Order meets Supernatural and make it kinda gay.
It's silly but not silly enough, it's tropes are less yaoi and more what you'd think is funny for anime series like this. (He doesn't look asian but has dark eyes LOL).
I'll probably check out the original manga out of curiosity and see what one of the more popular yaoi series looked like.

yaoi becomes truly Elevated when you add the charming supportive fujo queen to the mix. arisa you won my heart... i loved all 58 minutes of this cop yaoi murder mystery ova... dee was a freak but he was also hilarious. and bonus points for found family!!
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
So silly, so camp, so predictable and so GAAAAAAY.
Dee is so gay for Ryo, I'm dead.
The murder mystery is elementary and the addition of the ghost subplot is so random. But the characters are so GOOD.
There's a joke thrown by Dee though that put me off, joking about Cal's breast. Stop it.
This is so cheesy, so kitsch, and so girliepop. It makes sense cause the manga's written by a girl. I'll let it pass this time, I had a good gay time.
The art isn't the best but still acceptably gay.
Some contradictions & goofs: they're all speaking Japanese but Ryo is supposedly the only one with a Japanese blood.
Bitches be racist towards japanese cause it happens that three of em killed his daughter, but also speaking Japanesw💀 this is too funny
The steamy kissing scenes😍 the jazz in the background, the wine and these two homosexuals
I need more gay detective/cops series🚔🏳️🌈
why does everyone think this sucks it's like the mario 64 of yaoi
yaoi always taught us that racism is bad
Ridiculous 90s anime! Humorous and way over the top in some parts, only the aggressive „chasing“ was icky. Storywise nothing to tricky.
