I lol'd
Anyway, back to the manga. It turns out to be much better than I initially thought. Their motive is quite unlike most of the anti-heros you read in mangas that do this and their victims are people in society who look down on the down-and-out. The way they're fleshing out the characters and the way Yokokuhan portrays police work is excellent so far. Yeah, the way they explain fairly simple stuff so readers can understand is a bit weird but everything else is bang on. I hope they continue to flesh out the anti-hero squad. It's looking great so far.
I've been missing out!
Nobita: fear of women, obsessed with computer dating games, hikkikomori after high school. Sounds legit.
This is Nobita in the future without Doraemon lol
I hope we will see more of this.
Thank you Sakugara.
So thanks again, Queen Lay-Lay, my master of whips, chains, and shiny black leather, for keeping this series going!!

No people gave this manga a chance then saw that its approach was horrible.
The police chick is unlikeable, the MC is unlikeable, both are extremes that are completely unrelatable to.
The subject matter is only half researched and the author comes off sounding like a Fox News report.
When a show handles subject matter its important to handle it realistically.
NCIS for instance handles crime scene analysis relatively realistically. But when it delves into the computer science side it goes way off the deep end of "WTF did they just say?" But that's ok because the focus of NCIS is Criminal Investigations.
This story is specifically about computer science and the internet community as a whole. For it to fail so completely on even some of the most basic things is.... well you get the picture.
TLDR
Manga is bad because it sucks not because it doesn't have the boobies.
