Kon Katsu Tantei (2022)

A fun, lighthearted comedy of a self-professed "hard boiled" detective Kurosagi (Mukai) who goes through life playing a hard-edged badass, however, at night, feels the void of not having a significant other to share things with. And when a bright billboard advertising a MARRIAGE MATCHING consulting company shines from across the way, he takes it as a sign that it's time to act, diving in headfirst into the world of marriage matching with the guidance of an intrepid counselor Kido (Riko Narumi) so he can meet the "one" and settle down!
 A fairly basic plot but so much FUN and WOW, the guest stars appearing as Kurosagi's possible partners are ALL stunning beauties in their own right! Actresses like Akane Hotta , Aimi Satsukawa, Maho Nonami, Yui Ichikawa,and even the bubbly Miwako Kakei among others, all of them seeking the man of their dreams!
Each of Kurosagi's attempts gets varied results and he usually ends up striking out for ONE reason or another, but Kido is always there to encourage and support him! In FACT, we soon quickly realize that SHE might be better than ANY of the actual clients she's matching him with!
Kurosagi's personal life outside of the marriage matchmaking game is filled with beauties as well, with women like his former partner's daughter Shinna (Natsumi Okamoto) or even the bartender who works at the bar he frequents (Manami Hashimoto). Seems like this guy is just SURROUNDED by babes of ALL walks of life! If ONLY he could get lucky and actually end up MARRYING one of them!
Aw, this was one heckuva entertaining little drama and I'm glad I was finally able to see it!
