I will take all the yen in the Japan!
All of you can use this instead!
Inspector Ogino.
The safe has been completely emptied out.
This is the sixth bank to be hit.
Despite having heavy security at the location,
the suspect got in easily.
Damn you, Don Valentino!
I guess it's time to use Hiroshi.
Hiroshi?!
Are you talking about Inaba Hiroshi?
The werewolf police dog who became a legend
by tracking down a suspect with just a single hair.
With his power, he's able to identify anyone just by touching their hair,
and he can see their memories by putting the hair into his mouth.
His apprehension rate is 100%.
He's truly the guard dog of the law.

Hey.
Ogi-san!
You've got some nerve showing up uninvited.
I'm here with a job.
We're after a bank robber, but he's giving us some trouble.
I need your help. Let's work together again, Hiroshi.
No way in hell!
I quit being a police dog! Take that and that!
Inaba-san, that's rock salt!
I'm currently detectiving to rave reviews!
That's why I came here as a client.
Is that any way to treat a client?!
Like I care, you stingy-haired miser!
Your hair is bristled but you never let m—
Now, now... How about some tea?
Oh, sorry.
We're currently out of bowls, so it'll be
straight out of the rice maker. Is that okay?
Oh, good, ochazuke. I was just getting hungry.
Would you two quit spatting like a mother-in-law and daughter?!

Yuuta-kun, we have cups, don't we?!
Tempted by the hourly wage, I've been working at the
It's fine. I'll drink out of this.
Inaba Detective Agency for six months now.
Would you stop being weirdly stubborn, Ogi-san?!
I'm Nozaki Kei, currently sixteen.
And I'm totally into cats.
Jeez. It seems your moodiness hasn't changed.
I'm totally in a great mood!
Wanna see the cuticle dance?
Cuticle Dance
Created by Inaba Hiroshi
Cuticle, cuticle...
Shiny, sleek hair...
My boss, Inaba Hiroshi-san,
is a former police dog werewolf detective with a hair fetish.
Cuticle, cuticle...
His self-appointed volunteer assistant who understands him,
Soft, silky hair...
Sasaki Yuuta-kun,
is a cross-dresser who has hostile feelings towards Ogi-san.
Kyu, kyu, kyu, kyu, kyu, kyu...
Inspector Ogino Kuniharu,
Inaba-san's partner when he was a police dog,
is sort of like his owner.
Hey, you, the assistant that actually works.
It's Kei.
Cuticle, cuticle...
I'll tell you the details.
Okay.
Glossy, smooth...
You see...
Curse you, Bristles!
You look happy.
Don... Valentino?
He's the boss of an Italian Mafia group.
He's quite skilled in making counterfeit bills.
However, there hadn't been any activity from him
since the Italian currency changed.
So it was believed that his organization dissolved,
but surprisingly, he was in Japan.
Look.
Other than not having Yukichi's face, it's a perfect copy.
You totally can't tell other than Yukichi's face being different.
It should be obvious if it's not Yukichi!
Though he's an enemy, his work is admirable.
I would love for him to make a 10,000 yen bill with my daughter on it.
I'll have him make you the 5,000 yen bill, Hiroshi.
Y-You idiot.
Hey, could you two come back to reality now?
Hurry and leave. Hurry and leave. Hurry and leave.
But this can't actually be classified as counterfeit, can it?
Hurry and leave. Hurry and leave. Hurry and leave. Hurry and leave!
I'm telling you to hurry up and leave!
You're right.
The ICPO has analyzed that this fake bill is a display of
their counterfeiting technique, and as long as
they're packing cash, they'll take any requests.
The ICPO?
We've tracked down their hideout.
Hiroshi,
use your powers to bring them to justice.
What color is Valentino's hair?
Is that really important?
It's top priority.
I think it's white.
I wonder if it's white or gray.
Either way, it's been a while.
This will be my first time getting a luxurious hair
from someone like an Italian Mafia Don.
Something like this?
Stop it, Yuuta.
Inaba-san, it's too dangerous!
Don't stop me, Kei.
I can't stop drooling over the idea of an unknown cuticle.
Actually, I think I'm turning into drool itself.
I'll catch Valentino for you!
Hurry up and lead me to him, Ogi!
A single-story house made of wood...
It reminds me of home.
It is, indeed, a very family friendly home.
Seriously?! Is it really okay for Valentino to be
in a single-story wooden house?!
We know you're in there, Valentino!
He may have fled.
No, I can hear voices.
Those newspaper guys just never give up.
Could you tell them we don't want any, Don?
I suppose I'll have to tell them to scram.
I'm going to call the police, I am.
I am the police.
He's a goat!
He's a goat living in a one-story wooden house!
Slip!
It's a crock that he's called Valentino!
Lorenzo! Lorenzo, who is my right arm!
Kill them now!
Make a run for it, Don!
Lorenzo! Bag on head! Traditional Japanese clothing!
Good for him.
He has a gun?
Ah!
Ah! Whoops.
Too slow.
I didn't think they'd shoot suddenly.
All of you hide in here.
Okay, Papa.
You're so cool, Papa.
Hurry ho—
Ogi-san, you're bleeding!
I've been shot.
How are you okay?!
Someone please teach Ogi-san not to be so trusting.
Oh, no!
Yuuta-kun, don't! It's too dangerous!
He sealed it!
The Mafia is Surprised!
Let me know whenever you want some air
by saying, "I'm a lowly dog of the state."
Assistant. Kill.
The strong-looking one has been sealed, he has!
Come at me now, you should!
Sensei, it's too dangerous for us now that Ogi-san is gone.
Let's hurry and run away.
My Yukichis are sticking out, they are!
I don't understand.
You have the skills to make such convincing counterfeits.
Why steal real money?
You impudent amateur.
I shall show you why the counterfeits came about, I shall.
Lorenzo!
Don, do not bang on the bowl.
Yukichi in light soy sauce.
What a refreshing dish, it is.
I have tried many others, but the Japanese yen is the best, it is.
It's light, yet flavorful.
The euro is too plain.
Things were great when they still had the lira.
And now, Don, if you'll excuse me...
It is complete, it is!
Valentino Specialty Counterfeit Bills
All done.
Commoner punch!
Public opinion kick! Public opinion kick!
Poor
His rage toward tightness on money is nothing to laugh at.
S-Stop it, I say!
That hurts, it does!
I've never seen Kei-kun keep dishing out low kicks like that.
I can't forgive him, Inaba-san!
Oh, leave it to me.
Hiroshi, if you're able to catch Valentino,
I'll let you shampoo my hair.
Leave it to me!
Where are you popping out from?!
It's up to you, Yuuta.
Poke Poke Poke
That one-finger move is known as the secret technique of mountain sages...
Hamusenryuu!
Hamusenryuu
That move is so secret that it has never been seen!
Having shady people explain a shady attack just makes it all the more shady...
It has been determined that you're going to jail, Valentino!
A wolf?!
Are you telling me that rumor was true?
The DNA of werewolves that has been secretly passed
down from medieval Europe...
Secret Doberman!
I heard that all of the werewolves in Japan had gone extinct.
Too bad! As you can see, I'm fine and dandy!
Kill! Kill! Kill! I'm going to kill all wolves!
Be sure not to open the door, no matter who comes to it.
Okay!
I'm your Momma!
Die! I will take revenge for those kids!
They were saved!
The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids
What kind of vile creature would try to eat kids?!
Have you no pity?!
It's no use. He's completely lost it!
Yet he's calm when loading the gun.
It's up to you, Yuuta!
Right! I've got a quality black one right here.
What can you do with a single strand of hair?
Surrender, you should.
While in his transformation,
he can gain the powers from the hair he's chewing on.
That one was black, so...
He's crafty now?
This is the first time you're seeing black, isn't it?
Watch.
That negative aura pouring out from Sensei...
This miasma has the power to throw anyone
within 500 meters into complete and utter despair.
Even the building is deteriorating!
To put it simply, it's a negative aura that depresses anyone.
How are you okay, Yuuta-kun?
I don't feel like doing anything.
My body's heavy.
I don't think I even care about common sense
or anything else anymore.
If you're discarding your status as the sensible character,
then there's no use for you, Kei-kun!
This aura eats up any hope in your heart.
And then turns your hair black!
I don't even care about the fact
that Inaba-san has turned into the villain...
The staff is also being affected by the miasma.
I don't even care about the fact that Valentino has
turned into a black goat...
As much as I eat bills and sip on sweet drinks every day,
I'm bound to become fat, I am.
I'm not even getting pissed anymore...
My name should be the Golden Fatty, Don Metaborich.
I don't even care about life anymore...
Even Lorenzo...
The hell?!
Has the Don riding a white horse arrived yet?
How are you so full of hopes and dreams?!
Oh, flower, tell me how the Don truly feels.
This isn't the time for that, flower!
The Don considers Lorenzo to be his right arm!
Left arm...
Right arm!
Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right, le—
Seppuku!
Who could die in good conscience from a random sword test like this?!
That was close.
Lorenzo, how dare you?!
Ogi-san, your revival is too strange!
It's too dangerous to be here with that man.
We are withdrawing.
You'll regret this, you will!
Realize what era you're in!
We'll call the family, we will.
We shall research him, make him face
the same fear as the kids did, and kill him.
The Valentino family will crush the wolf at full force, we will.
So this marked the beginning of
the battle between Inaba-san and the goat.
What? You don't have a license?
Seriously! What the hell is up with the goat?!
Don, it's here!
Italy
The report on the werewolf conducted by our investigation unit!
Nothing less from the family.
They are very fast, they are.
We have no time to rest, Don.
He is a much more fearsome enemy than we could have ever imagined...
Please take a look at this.
This is...

Don!
Hurry up with the report!
Damn it, Gabriella, you never wait to shoot someone's brains out.
And? Who's the one you want me to kill?
Lorenzo.
Yes, sir.
Inaba Hiroshi. Current occupation: detective.
He has one family member, a younger brother.
Born from artificial insemination and raised to be a police dog,
he was headlong on the path to becoming an elite police dog.
He got along with his brother and lived a happy life.
Then, suddenly, his brother disappeared.
Since then, he quit being a police dog
and is continuing the search for his brother on his own.
His height.
How tall is this Inaba Hiroshi?
He's 174 centimeters.
What the hell?! Someone get rid of that dog!
Minions need to be shorter than my line of sight.

when you're trying to oppress them.
It appears your sense of love is warped as ever.
So what would be the best way to apply severe damage to the wolf?
Secret Dobermans are very adept at gathering information.
Therefore, it is said that countries are
producing them to be used as spies.
I see...
So we may be able to get a nice ransom from the country.
And then kill him.
Inaba Detective Agency
"To my older brother,
Let's meet at the Yoidore factory site at 15:00.
It's not a trap, so please come by yourself.
P.S. This is not a trap.
From your younger brother."
Super shady.
Oh, man! What should I wear?!
Shall I let you borrow my dress?
Well...
Your trusting heart is wonderful, but—
A younger brother?! You have one?!
I have lots of other dresses, too!
I do. I'm an older brother.
He's got white, fluffy hair like a Persian cat.
See? Here's a photo to prove it!
What exactly is this supposed to prove?
His name is Haruka, and he's seventeen. So he's a year older than you, Kei.
He's been missing for about two years.
I don't have any other family,
so I have no choice but to go.
I should probably show off how mature I've become.
It's up to you, Yuuta.
Leave the fashion coordinating to me.
You look very mature.
Yuuta-kun, if he wears that at his age,
he'll look younger.
Adult Male 23 Years Old
Yeah.
He's so stupidly happy right now, he'd totally go dressed like that...
Yeah.
I'm going, too!
Me, too!
No.
The letter said to go alone, didn't it?
You two stay here.
But it'll be dangerous on your own!
No matter how you look at it, this is suspicious!
This has got to be a trap.
I don't know anyone who'd want to trap me, though.
Because everyone loves me, right?
Yup!
Where does that confidence come from?
What if someone you arrested is trying to get revenge on you?!
Nope! Not a chance!
I'll say this to save you the disappointment!
Your brother won't come!
And what if it actually is my brother?!
Are you gonna take responsibility and become my younger brother?!
I don't want a weirdo older brother!
Inaba Detective Agency
Sorry! I was just on a roll...
You're a great older brother, Ina—
Like I'd ever want a younger brother like you, you idiot!
Drink conditioner and die!
And there he goes...
Inaba-san's crisis is a crisis of my livelihood.
Poor
I can't let this go...
I'm going to the factory, as well.
What are you going to do, Yuuta-kun?
I'm going, of course.
You won't blend into the concrete jungle at all dressed like that,
so please change.
Listen, it's most likely a trap,
so if you sense any danger, make a run for it.
No problem!
It's the perfect opportunity to be rid of you.
I'll be in mach speed.
You want to get rid of me so badly that you think about it daily?!
Yoidore Factory Site
It doesn't look like they have any traps set up.
But it's past the time in the letter, and no one is here.
Not even Inaba-san.
Maybe he got lost. Give him a call.
You got lost, didn't you, Inaba-san?
Very perceptive.
I didn't know which train to transfer onto...
Or even which station to get off at.
And then I realized I didn't know where the fac—
How big a loser can you be?!
Where are you right now?
At the office.
Don't use your homing instinct!
Give up on the train and just take a taxi.
Don't forget the receipt.
Okay.
Jeez... What a troublesome adu—
Kid.
What are you doing here?
C-Crap!
Idiot
See ya!
He surpassed the speed of sound?!
Hey, you're not the wolf, you're not.
Valentino! What were you planning to do,
playing on Inaba-san's brotherly instincts?!
Who might you be?
Does my existence mean that little?!
Are you one of the wolf's friends? You're the perfect size.
Size?!
Who are you?!
She is the poster girl of our family, Gabriella!
The much-talked-about assassin, she is!
Those between 146 and 162 centimeters are all her minions!
Anyone else she will kill, she will!
The thoughts and opinions of the minions
(These are personal opinions, and not everyone may experience the same results.)
From here!
Her kick sure woke me up.
From there!
All of the dogs I've bought from her are loyal and obedient.
From the other side, too!
Since she killed me,
I've become famous, and everyone is jealous of me.
See? She's quite popular.
There's totally a murder victim...
Don! I can have him, right?
I promise to take good care of him.
No! Let go!
Oh, all right.
He'll be in the way right now, though.
Let go! Let go!
Just lock him up somewhere for now.
Exciting, exciting...
Exciting
Come on, ask me to tie you up.
No!
Much Later
He's late...
Aren't the Japanese known to show up
at least five minutes before they're expected?
Nothing is gained by losing your temper.
You're running out of places to shoot in my head, as well.
Gabriella, I will tell you this for your own sake.
According to one source, the golden ratio of tsundere is
tsun at eight, and dere at two.
He's already made me wait six hours in this damn place.
I'm taking the rest of the day off!
I'm going to go home and give my minions their food!
They've only gotten water today!
Wait! This may be a part of his plan!
You know about Miyamoto Musashi and Sasako Kojirou, do you not?
Musashi was purposely late on the day of the d—

How bad is your timing?!
Green onion?!
Very Interested
And so, what happened next?
You are that interested, are you?
V-Valentino?! Don't tell me you sent this...
Surprised, are you not?
You thought you'd see your brother, but it is I, your nemesis, Valentino!
Don't cry...
I'm sure your brother is doing well somewhere.
I'm sure you'll see him soon.
I'm not crying!
I totally knew this was a tr—
Captured.
Who the hell is this chick?
Can't move a muscle, can you?
You're tied up, too!
Let's hurry up and get this over with!
Get the phone!
I wonder why the victim was in this room and not at the party.
Inspector Ogino?
Papa!
Doting Daddy
Inspector Ogino?
Hello?
You took very good care of us the other day, Inspector Ogino.
Valentino?
I have someone very precious to you right in front of me, I do.
If you want them back, you should prepare some cash, you should.
Though I don't think this person is worth even a million yen.
It can't be... Let me hear their voice.
Here. Say something.
Goo...
Goo goo ga ga.
Huh?
You dare... take my daughter?
Th-There's murderous intent coming through the phone!
N-No! This is a misunderstanding, it is!
I'll beat you until you turn into a sheep!
I'll die first, I will!
We're at the Yoidore factowy site.
Well done, Azusa!
Don't you find that at least a little weird?!
Knowing that doting daddy, he'll totally kill you.
Why don't you hurry and run?
This is for your insolence.
You're going to die right here.
Wh-What?!
Fireworks?!
Hurry and put them out!
Curses!
What is this? I'm scared, I am!
I told you it was a trap!
We're going home!
Shut up! Hurry and put it out!
Looks like you've had a worse time than me. I'm sorry.
But I wanted to come.
If there was even the slightest chance...
My brother is... pure white.
He has pure white hair, given to him by God!
He has the hair of an angel!
If I were his brother, I totally would have run away...
I'll go anywhere to find him!
I'm going to take care of this before the cop gets here.
Don, get going.
Don.
All right. I'll get going, I will.
You should have run when you had the chance.
A million was pretty cheap, wasn't it?
His special powers from his transformation?
I'll totally pay it... One million volts!

Damn, what kind of woma—
That's all you've got, and you were expecting to win against me?
The hell are you? A girl ninja?!
If you want to beat me...
You'll have to try to kill me!
Says the person who looks like a near-sighted
anime character from the Showa era.
I've got your Don. Don't you have to save him?
I don't want the Don. Give me your assistant!
No!
Miser! I'm going home!
H-Hey, wait... Gabriella?!
Come back, Gabriella!
Where's Azusa?
Hey, Ogi. Azusa's fine.
More importantly, I've apprehended Valentino.
When?!
You're a Don! What the hell are you getting captured for?
Since I saved you, how about you sing
a song from that dirty little mouth of yours?
B-Bah...
Damn it, your breath stinks!
Don!
Gabriella! Stop dominating your elders!
Shut up! Stop ordering me around!
Don!
