So, why is it that I didn't realize before that Koyuki was married to Kenichi aka Gantz guy?! how that's even possible?, good for you Koyuki girl, she is like 9 years older and they already have a son, waa, that's great isn't it?
Well, why am I suddenly speaking/writting about Koyuki? How could she ever forget about Momo, or is it that she find herself her own Momo?
Either way, good for you girl!
Well today it's part two, and the one who happens to appear to spice things up in the law environment is Koyuki. So, next to her we meet again Komikado sensei and her loyal girl Gakky. Let's get into it.
BTW and totally not related there is the fact that both Koyuki and Sakai Masato were in Engine along with Kimutaku, so now I have to watch it and see how it went out; there are a bunch of famous actors as well, plus any Jonny with children is a match, they have this amazing cute side which seems to be a requirement.

Komikado Kensuke is back!!
Ok I cannot avoid to mention this was right after Hanzawa Naoki's boom, so, some of the rating increase definitely should be attributed to it. But I actually watched this before HN and even though I wasn't able to watched it as contuniously as the first season, I still really enjoyed it.
Komikado is still Komikado
But what to say about this new sequel?, how to review something that I really did enjoy in first season?. Well, second seasons are never as good as first. Yet...that's not true about this, second season is as strong as season one.
The couple is back!
Komikado is basically the same, not a bit changed. His motivation is still money an women and his methods are still a little bit in the grey zone or black if you want. He isn't portrayed softer or blander, he is as cinical and raw as always. I like the fact that he is dependable!
Maa..
But what I find kind of amusing, I wrote "kind" because it is Mayuzumi who I am talking about, is that we perceive a minor change in her character. The way she insists about staying with Komikado till the end and how even though she still thinks as an Asadora heroine most of the times, now she is more willing to face the truth about lawyers, about the law and about clients. Basically about her job, but it is a point of view that seems to be influenced and afected by Komikado sensei.
Maybe?
The others
About the other law firm, it was just around episode 8 or 9 that I've realize that Miki was not around, so I guess I didn't miss him so much. There is a new opponent and that's Hanyu played by Okada Masaki, he used to work with Komikado but know he is trying to change the world into a bunch of rainbows with his idealistic law firm. It's hilarious how this utterly upsets Komikado and myself. But even though he is annoying and has this thing about Arabic sayings he is quite bearable and at times you even wish he would win.
He has this weird thing going on, and I don't mean his hair
An important client is played by Koyuki, she is almost a cougar lady, her story is pretty interesting and you don't know whether to feel pity or hatred for her.
Ranmaru is back! q(^-^q)(p^-^)p and coolest than ever.
This is a perfect part for Taguchi Junnosuke and I highly appreciate that they have given his character more time slot because he had the potential and was really cool and hilarious.
Epi 1
Cute isn't him?
Cool (#^.^#)
His interventions were crutial as always but even funnier, he is such a mischivous character, and cute. I think my fave one was him being the male teacher in a kindergarden, kawaii (ノ≧∇≦)ノキャー. I'd love to watch more from this Kat-tun boy, I think he has what it takes to keep the attention, plus I almost lost my faith about Kame... (-"-;)
♡♡♡ (;^ω^) (≧◡≦)~♥ -
His many many disguises ~ o(^▽^)o☆
Hattori san is also back to spoiled on Komikado, there's even an episode when they go back to the wild, in which Hattori is on vacation, and it's hilarious. Yet the first season one is impossible to overpass.
About the cases
I love love some cases as in the girl who had surgery and change her face and his husband wanted to divorced her, even though he was nothing close to be handsome. Guess which side Komikado represents!
Sato
In episode 2 we have a mangaka story with Sato Ryuta involved, who is funny as always. In episode 1, Gakky almost says Hanzawa catch phrase, that was hilarious. Beppu judge from the SP is back and her excursions are really funny.
Kazoku game mum appears with 3 husbands (epi 6) and we have a lot of the rumored ninja costumes.
About my marks
The openings are really cute! And the sceneries are varied and refreshing. The essence is the same, even the ending is mirror from the first season. It's witty and thought provoking, Komikado speaks terribly fast and still is one of the main highlights of the show, for me at least. He is beliable and you either love him or hate him and that is a good thing. All in all a very strong dorama, inteligent and faithful to what we have seen before. I find this season steadier and even if it is just a bit, the main characters have some growing.
>>So, the same marks!
A must see if you enjoy the first season, and a good option if you want to see why this has a second season.
And to end a nice Kat-tun guy pic
Junnosuke!
*gifs not mine
And now my fave part from epi 8, there's a lot of things going on and I'll keep my opinion for the review but this was a pretty intense moment and I kind of liked it.
Kaoruko san!
OK I lied this was my fave, soooo funny

Well, this took a lot! And I still have a couple of reviews waiting for me...will see
Jun + babies is a win-win situation!
