Synopsis: Haimura Kiri is a seemingly ordinary boy with one slight problem: he is obsessed with cutting other people's hair. One day he meets Mushiyanokouji Iwai, the "Hair Queen" who cannot cut her hair because of an inherited curse. Kiri finds out that his scissor, "Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge" is the only thing that can cut them. But little did he know that their meeting sparked the start of an old murder game to kill the "Hair Queen" using the cursed killing tools, the "Killing Goods." Can Kiri protect Iwai from the Killing Goods Owners? Let the game begin!
QUOTE (franzoir @ Mar 15 2013, 03:18 PM)Random curiosity- Crime Edge: Seriously, I have read some strange japanese synposis in my time but wtf.as quoted from the spring line-up 2013 thread I agree with franzoir now that I watched the first ep, I'm just too curious to check out what's going on with this weird story and its murder stuff xD ...also dunno why some scenes remind me in a way to Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, this'll turn quite gory expectation: very low - preliminary score 6/10
