One episode down and already I love it.  I checked this drama out because of Kitamura Kazuki, I really liked him as the bumbling and compassionate detective in Yokai Ningen Bem and I already like him in this one too.  Apart from him though, this drama looks promising! Kuriyama Chiaki plays Ebina Maiko who discovers "Chokozai" at the scene of an investigation.  Their first meeting is quite funny as "Chokozai" has ketchup all over himself and it freaks Maiko out because she thinks its blood at first.  Just from the first episode there are little moments throughout like that one that gives this detective drama a wonderful mood.  The main character, who introduces himself as "Chokozai", is an autistic savant which gives him the ability to be able to pick up the smallest details surrounding him.  Using unique and basic ways to relay these findings, Maiko is able to interpret his "riddles" which helps solve the case.  The main character is played brilliantly by Nakai Masahiro, who does a wonderful job at portraying his role.  I especially like it in the scenes where he finally accepts a change in something and says new data updated.  I hope this will continue to be a good drama!.
