==Trivia==
:面識のないメル友の女性と逃避行をはかるために勤務先から1億円を横領し、ファミリーレストランで待ち続けるが、相手の女性はいっこうに現れない。「ハンバーグ」はハンドルネーム。
*Yocchan's surname, Nanashi, literally means "no name" in Japanese.
*Robo notes in Voice 1 that his birthday is May 22nd, because the number matched the bottom of his toy robot's foot. This coincides with episode 7's airing and was supposed to be relevant to the plot.
**Niko's birthday is also May 22nd in episode 7.
*Kazumi and Niko have numbers in their names. Kazu means "one" in Japanese and she's the first child. Ni means "two". "Niko" can also mean "smile".
==Manga==
The drama is based on a manga series by [[Kuroda Iou]]. In the Viz translation of the manga, they spell the character's name Nico with a C. It's a strange decision considering Niko is just a typical Japanese girl's name, and there's no apparent need to westernize it.


;Cook コック - [[Takahashi Issei]] 高橋一生（Voice 7）
The Viz translator also either mistranslated Niko's sister name or it was changed for the drama. 一海 can be interpreted a few ways, the Viz translator spelled it Hatsumi, but the drama shows that the proper pronunciation is Kazumi.
:ファミリーレストランで修行中のコック。よっちゃんの指導を受け、先生と仰ぐ。


;昭子 - 小林聡美、恵 - もたいまさこ、絵美理 - ともさかりえ（Voice 8&9）
In a letter to her teacher, her father's name is Hideo instead of Takeo.
「プッチーニ」の三人組。死を間近に控えた患者の願いを聞き届け、叶える3人組。昼は看護師をしている。
===References to the Manga===
*In Voice 13 Niko saves a suicidal girl. When she comes out, Robo kneels and prays to her, the way he does to Kazumi at the end of Voice 1 in the drama.
*At the end of the story with the assassin dealer, Niko looks out to the city and ponders something.
*The man on the phone from the opening is from Voice 4 The Man in the Tower.
===Differences from the Manga===
*Niko is a lot more brazen in the manga. Obviously such innuendo concerning a 14 year old girl in drama form would be controversial.
**The head spy that the duo reported to was originally an old man instead of a woman. It was probably changed for the reason mentioned above. The old man equivalent to Maki also has an employee named Nanashi.
*In Voice 12 of the manga, Niko's friend says her name is "Mu" (according to the Viz translation).

Missing Episode

Episode 7 did not air because it had a hostage situation, similar to one that happened in real life the week before. Not wanting to upset anyone, the episode was pulled. It was released with the DVD set later on.

Trivia

  • Yocchan's surname, Nanashi, literally means "no name" in Japanese.
  • Robo notes in Voice 1 that his birthday is May 22nd, because the number matched the bottom of his toy robot's foot. This coincides with episode 7's airing and was supposed to be relevant to the plot.
    • Niko's birthday is also May 22nd in episode 7.
  • Kazumi and Niko have numbers in their names. Kazu means "one" in Japanese and she's the first child. Ni means "two". "Niko" can also mean "smile".

Manga

The drama is based on a manga series by Kuroda Iou. In the Viz translation of the manga, they spell the character's name Nico with a C. It's a strange decision considering Niko is just a typical Japanese girl's name, and there's no apparent need to westernize it.

The Viz translator also either mistranslated Niko's sister name or it was changed for the drama. 一海 can be interpreted a few ways, the Viz translator spelled it Hatsumi, but the drama shows that the proper pronunciation is Kazumi.

In a letter to her teacher, her father's name is Hideo instead of Takeo.

References to the Manga

  • In Voice 13 Niko saves a suicidal girl. When she comes out, Robo kneels and prays to her, the way he does to Kazumi at the end of Voice 1 in the drama.
  • At the end of the story with the assassin dealer, Niko looks out to the city and ponders something.
  • The man on the phone from the opening is from Voice 4 The Man in the Tower.

Differences from the Manga

  • Niko is a lot more brazen in the manga. Obviously such innuendo concerning a 14 year old girl in drama form would be controversial.
    • The head spy that the duo reported to was originally an old man instead of a woman. It was probably changed for the reason mentioned above. The old man equivalent to Maki also has an employee named Nanashi.
  • In Voice 12 of the manga, Niko's friend says her name is "Mu" (according to the Viz translation).
