I totally deserved that for being a tard and just being all excited like some sort of puppy. needless to say my point was why do awesome things have to be so pricey. I bought the first two volumes only to find that it was 13 volumes long and even at 10 dollars a volume I will be spending a ton of money to see all of it.
however, after watching volume one there is just something amazing about a buddy cop story set in a sleepy prefecture of japan. in addition to this, its a story about two female cops. Now this is all the more amazing because when have you ever seen a buddy cop story told with women. its like dirty pair but actually not set in the far future and still written like a bad 80's movie.
