“Takashimaya was

somehow linked to that

detective, Murata.”“Lotta family

portraits of ’em back

at his house.”

You don’t listen

so good. Soon maybe

you won’t feel so

-- hold on.

Murata,

you busy?

“But what’s their deal? Not sure I

want to know but the die is cast and

I decide to see what I can win…”

Kentaro!

What can I

do for ya?

Listen… who

you got working a

gaijin* murder?

Ethan Babylon.

Male, Caucasian.

30ish.

Be right with you.

No, not you. You

keep waiting!

Aaand… bing.

Detective Takeo

Sato. You’ll find him

at Keishicho.

Thanks,

partner. I owe

you one.

After the

complementary

“date” with the little

woman? We’re even

’til next time, brah!

*Foreigner

And I was like,

seriously? So yesterday

I told him…

“Day by day,

another life

to explore.”

“But so little to

discover, this time.”

“Kumi lives with Tania,

her Russian GF.”

You really should

have a look at this.

Self-sticking.

Amazing, really. There’s

still guys talented enough

to slit their own throats.

“Except Tania and this

stinking job of Kumi’s,

nothing else.”

“Nothing…

I can see…”

“I live in a

woman’s body.”

“Each and every feeling is

different, like it’s filtered

through someone else…”

Hey, babe! Yes, you’re

perfect, you don’t

have to waste time

at a mirror.

I bought the meat,

we’re going to have

teriyaki tonight. What

movie would you like?

“Tania, 28. Graphic

designer. A force

of nature.”

“I live in a woman’s

body… but I could

think of much worse.”

Hmm?

And you’re into

old American movies

since when?

I guess there’s a lot

of things about me

you never knew.

And that classic

with De Niro and…

Samuel L. Jackson?

Where he shoots at…

Jackie Brown.

Sure. That

one too.

Who knew, babe. I mean,

look at us… the door?

Stay on that fine ass,

I’ll get it…

If it’s that old

Nagawa bag and her

damned cat again, I…

Yes?

aahhh!!

Tania !!!

Speedy fuckin’

delivery.Who… who

are you?

You know

I’m recognized

everywhere.

Get up, Honoda-Chan.

You’re used to a little

blood, right? I mean, in

your line of work…
