Just binged watched the 9 episodes and I actually really enjoyed it! I liked both FL and ML. Definitely not Haruna’s best work or acting but still very much enjoyable!
I asked Chatgpt about the original comic lmao.Here are some very mild spoilers.
The story follows Charlie North and Jill Kearney, two Variants who discover that when they touch, their powers amplify exponentially. Most Variants have no abilities, but Charlie and Jill are unique in that their combined power makes them highly dangerous in the eyes of the government.
Charlie is an idealist who wants to live freely, while Jill is a dedicated activist fighting for Variant rights. When they meet, their intense connection not only gives them superpowers but also makes them a target for the authorities. As they attempt to navigate their newfound bond and its implications, they get caught in the larger struggle for Variant liberation.
The government, particularly the Variants Crimes Task Force (VCTF), views them as a massive threat, and they are relentlessly pursued. Meanwhile, extremist factions within the Variant resistance also want to use their power for their own means, creating tension between Jill’s activist ideals and the violent methods some rebels advocate.
As the series progresses, Charlie and Jill's relationship is tested by external forces and their own fears. Their powers continue to evolve, making them both weapons and symbols of hope for oppressed Variants. However, this also places them in even greater danger as the authorities will stop at nothing to control or eliminate them.
The story blends elements of superhero narratives with political allegory, exploring themes of systemic oppression, civil rights, and the dangers of unchecked government power. It delivers action-packed sequences alongside deeply emotional character moments, making it a compelling read for fans of dystopian fiction and superhero dramas.
Its almost like she was just a suspect and maybe to that one detective only.Or what?? you want to treat any suspect…
why not... they are not criminals and by law they shouldn't be forbidden from any job. also again its probable that only this one cop suspected her anyway.
makes total sense for a former murder suspect to be allowed to join the police force lol
Its almost like she was just a suspect and maybe to that one detective only. Or what?? you want to treat any suspect to any crime as a criminal from now on??? not how law works.
Mizukawa Asami's character was so useless and unnecessary tho! I thought at first that there would be more to her really but at the end her character really served no purpose other than existing.
Just finished it! Loved Oguri Shun as a psychopath 😭❤️ His character was so evil and rotten to the end. Wish we had more Oguri shun roles as a psychopath 😭
Kyo Nobuo's character was also interesting. Thought he would be the usual generic delinquent criminal at first but there was more to him that we never fully knew.
Both characters' motives are not clear. Yuya might've been just a psycho without motives really tho. He has this obsession with death.
wait who likes who lmao?Haven't seen the episode yet
yeah felt it from episode 1 that Suzuki was the most important person to Maki at the very least. He was the one always by his side supporting him 🥲i feel bad for Maki.
I liked both FL and ML.
Definitely not Haruna’s best work or acting but still very much enjoyable!
He already look happier with her family in the preview
omg she is so frustrating and annoying

Oguri Shun as Oda Nobunaga once again!
I thought at first that there would be more to her really but at the end her character really served no purpose other than existing.
