Picspam: 'Deka Wanko' (or: an excuse to post awesome dresses & teeny tiny hats)

[piecesofalice]

I can't sleep, so I was going through my caps folder (a task that may suggest I'm a masochist) and noticed I'd never done a full post about the jdrama Deka Wanko. Which is a crime unto its self, for reasons you're about to discover.

Deka Wanko first crossed my path after we saw these bizarrely ambiguous posters around Tokyo - was it about a frilly

Great. Great. GREAT. Now I'm downloading this lolita detective show. And plan on watching it tomorrow during my lunch break. GREAT.

You better be on the Ichiko/Older Colleague train with me, just sayin'.)

Okay, so, two episodes in and I am already shipping them like crazy. It's probably mostly your influence, but they pretty much had me when Ichiko complained that no one ever remembers her name, and then Older Colleague said that he always remembers. Also, he was the first (and only) one to call her a detective. He was the only one who had respect for her right off the bat, and I can't resist that. And then in the second ep he was worrying about her. And she kind of seems to idolize him a little bit. So... yeah, they've got me. It also helps that Older Colleague is super handsome.

Aaaaaand now I am in complete love. Just saw the ep where she helps him interrogate the suspects. She totally has a crush on him by the end of that ep. She even got jealous when her friend switched her crush from the mustache guy to him! And then the restaurant scene, with them sitting so adorably close, and him telling her cryptic things involving a bed, and them being sexy and adorable together at the same time. HOW DO PEOPLE NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHIP THIS? I mean, I get that the show is kind of pushing Ichiko/Boy Band Kid, but no matter how often they pretend to be newlyweds or people ask them if they're a couple, I just don't see any romantic feelings there. At all.

I KNOW RIGHT?! I just find Ichiko/Boy Bander so inherently boring. There's no chemistry what-so-ever, although I love the idea of them as bickering sibling-types. And it's all the small things between Shigemura and Ichiko that I love, and you've mentioned ALL OF THEM.
