Feir leg stays broken the whole time. Huehuehuehue. For whatever reason, I found that to be the funniest aspect of this story which is filled with funny moments. Every time I see feir leg just dangling there, it makes me grin. For scoring purposes, I'm including all the humor in the Story section. Because it's really just a series of gags. The premise itself is a joke: the owner of a building asks a detective and feir new aide Jiggles to defuse a bomb on the top floor of feir building, but to get there they have to make it through a series of protective traps fe had laid (and couldn't deactivate). Most of the jokes are sexual in nature and are only funny because such upfront sexuality is uncommon to the point of being absurd.

A hilarous and somewhat cute little one-shot. Story: Honestly there's nothing here to even call a story, really. It's just a farce to string together a bunch of jokes and big-anime-tiddy scenes together. Still, its not actively horrible. Art: Surprisingly good detail, which is really key because a lot of the humor and charm of this comes down to the little details like a broken leg or similar. Beyond that, there's great detail in backgrounds and beautiful character designs. Additionally, the artist has a great sense of scale and panelization (is that a word) that leaves each panel feeling like it takes up the perfect amount of space - there's no dead space in panels because the panel either shrinks to fit what's shown, or the empty space is filled with the speech bubbles, and on the flip side there's never anything that feels like it needed a bigger panel to be adequately represented. Characters: Surprisingly good characterization for such a short piece. The characters' personalities and behaviors really carry the story to the point that you don't even really notice that there isn't really a story. Wonderfully humorous character designs. Overall: Really not a great story, but it's well worth the read because it's just so funny. Note about tags: Thie Explicit Sex tag is well deserved because hot dang there's a lot of tiddy scenes and some heavily suggestive scenes about other body parts.
