    • Quotes

      Migi: [Shinichi is peeing in a bathroom] Shinichi.

      Shinichi Izumi: [whispering loudly] Jesus, seriously? I told you not to talk when there's people around!

      Migi: Please hold still. I going to try to make your sex organ erect.

      Shinichi Izumi: [still whispering] The hell you are?

      Shinichi Izumi: [Migi starts making him masturbate against his will] Aaaa. No, no, no. Stop that! I can't believe you!

    10/10
    I've watched many shows in my life. This one stands out from the rest.
    Incredible. This story is so well done I won't be surprised if it quickly surpasses the most popular TV series today. I know for absolute sure it will be on the top 10 highest rated or most viewed shows in the next two years.

    The social development of the characters progresses very well. The action is mind blowing. The newly grasped understanding of human nature is compelling. I just can't contain my excitement for this show. I can't wait to see it explode in popularity.

    I have to fill out more lines apparently, All I want to do is praise the show without any spoilers.
