Anata No Ban Desu: Humor in a JUGULAR Vein

At episode 8 of Anata No Ban Desu, and at this point I just HAVE to saw how much I freakin' LOVE this drama- it is without a DOUBT my favorite show on right now! Such a GRIPPING tale and you’re kept on your toes with the intricate plot as well as the ZANY interludes- this is a DARK comedy of the BLACKEST noir- When you have grisly murders like families with their throats slit and then have a police chief who is afraid to come into the apartment because it might be haunted, you have the perfect mix of shock and slapstick!
Sadly,  I have no doubt that the last episode will disappoint me. There is NO WAY this show can continue as good as it is- Either the show will have a silly twist ending or they’ll decide to ‘shock” us by having either Nana or Shota be the murderer, someone ridiculous- I just CAN’T believe this show will END on a note as GOOD as these past 8 episodes have been!
Man, right now I love the show so much that I’ve been re-watching each episode as they get subbed, with frequent rewinding certain scenes, that are interesting or flat out hilarious.
Falling so in love with Tomoya Harada, she is such a cutie and she balances the plot of wackiness and violence with tempered reaction. In the scene where the cops are grilling her, she says, "You guys keep asking me the same questions over and over," to which the wacky head cop says, ""Ma'am, we Detectives are TRAINED to keep asking the same questions over and over!" Nana asks in a puzzled voice, "W-Why?" and the cop, befuddled, hits his partner and says, "Tell Her Why." The partner evenly says "We keep asking the same questions because if you're lying, inconsistencies may appear," to which the head detective says under his breath "Oh, is that why?" LOLOLOL
And this is the first character I’ve EVER liked from Kei Tanaka, an actor whom for some reason has always rubbed me the wrong way, most recently in Ito Kun A to E. But his character of Shota is freaking great and extremely likeable! And if they make him the killer, I will flip my LID!
Crossing my fingers for a decent ending, because right now, the drama is as GOOD as it GETS!!!!
