Riho Yoshioka stars in ”Toki Wo Kakeruna Koibitotachi”, a cute story about a young advertising designer named Megu Tokiwa who gets recruited into a futuristic team of Time Police led by Kakeru Iuru (Eita) whose job it is to catch illegal time travelers (a la Retake), repair the damage they made, and take them back to their futures!
One of those stories where the time traveling aspect is treated very lackadaisily as a vehicle to set up the stories of the illegal time jumpers, rather than shown in any serious technical fashion, this one focused more on the human side of things and actually ended quite sweet and touching. And that’s just the first episode!
Megu Tokiwa, Ad Designer
...suddenly sucked down into another dimensional headquarters where she meets a group of rather...unusual people!
"Will you join us for the sake of the WORLD?"
Below: The Team of Eita, Jiro, Marika Ito, Gota Ishida
"They want me to join...THEM?"
Later, Megu reluctantly coming aboard.
"SO....How does this WORK?"
Rion gets an alert: it's a new time trespasser!
Megu gets the crash course in Time Theory...
Confronting the outlier and hopefully bringing everything to a peaceful close.
As is the fashion nowadays, each episode of Toki Wo Kakeruna Koibitotachi is a mere 22 minutes long, just enough time to set up the plot, introduce the characters and solve the case all at once!
Must add that Riho is back as her cute and irresistible self again, after the sombre and melancholy “Rakujitsu” it was high time to see the whimsical and playful Riho again!
The dimples that can bring world peace!
