Trivia

Mikkabouzu means "3 day monk". It's a nickname that means "One who can't stick to anything", in reference to Mikkabouzu's memory only lasting 3 days. His real name, Mita Hiroshi, is fairly similar.
Niko has a bird named Rumi-chan that escapes at the very start of the episode.
Robo lives above a beauty parlor called Pico.
Apparently Robo works at a Tele-club (telephone dating service), which Niko calls.
Imitating Mikkabouzu, Niko keeps her egg shells as a memento. Unfortunately, she breaks one shell by accident, foreshadowing the things to come. Mikkabouzu amazingly doesn't break his shells.
When haggling with the foreigners for Max Robo, Robo speaks in English, even though the foreigners speak mostly in Japanese.
While not explicitly explained, Niko displays her powers from the manga in the first episode.
- She can speak in seven voices; She uses a sexy voice to lure Robo into helping her investigate the violent scene.
- She finds Mikkabouzu in the hotel using her ability to recognize voices from far away.
- She also recognizes his voice from the murder from the surveillance camera, despite his disguise.
- She finds Robo by listening for his voice, even though he's using a Kansai accent. He's using a Kansai accent because it was the second tip from his rule book.
- Niko fakes the voice of a bellhop to get into Mikkabouzu's room.
- She uses the sexy voice to wake Robo up, after he failed to stop Mikkabouzu from leaving his apartment.
None of the adults that Niko meet are who they appear to be.
- Even the childlike Robo surprises Niko when he complains about having a job and real life, adult hardships.
- The gentle Mikkabouzu turns out to be a killer.
- The violent and scary Yocchan ends up in the kitchen and is kind of silly.
- Maki goes from being an antique store owner to potential victim for Mikkabouzu and a former spy. Yocchan is also revealed to be her employee.

Notable Quotes

Maki - "Once you know, you cannot go back."
Mikkabouzu - "When it comes to work, it doesn't matter if you want to do it or not."
