Beautiful Assassin: Erina Mano as SPEC #7

Just wrapped up Episode 7 of Keizoku 2: SPEC and besides continuing to blow me away with each chapter, this past episode had the additional entertainment of having Erina Mano as the latest Super-Powered SPEC, this time a adorable girly-girl named Satori who can scan people’s thoughts!
 She arrives at the headquarters of  the Keizoku Team to find out the info they have of another known SPEC named Reizen (played with wacky fervor by Tanaka Tetsushi) whom has the supposed gift of clairvoyance. The agents try to avoid her mind probe, but Sebumi can't fight it off, and she gets the info she needs!

This leads to this one HILARIOUS scene where Satori’s trying to extract information out of Reizen after she's captured him, and he’s trying to clear his mind of any thoughts and begins reciting Buddhist chants to occupy his mind…He’s furiously chanting while Satori smirks and says he can’t keep up this forever and will sooner or later crack.
He continues the chanting, and you have to laugh as the phrases slowly become the lyrics to “Ponytail to ShuShu” and it’s at this point she turns to him and says, “Eh? AKB? Sing HELLO PROJECT instead!!” AHAHAHAHAHA!
LOL! And yet, despite so much wackiness in the show, the ending of this episode still managed to knock me out with SUCH an INTENSE CLIFFHANGER! Amazing how this show manages a perfect balance of Silliness and Seriousness!!! Can't wait for the next episode!!!!
