I'm sorry xD But I'm so uncreative when it comes to names. I also need to admit that The Lesser developed from a dream I had about Timy and Mike (aka Secret Story). The Timy of my dream turned into Richie and Mike into Charles Mike. But with Charles Mike, I now have two Michaels and two Mikes... Since... Timy's full name is Timothy Michael Kehler and Mike has gotten a real lazy name, Michael Smith. If I was more creative with names, Mike and Tim wouldn't share their names xD And then of course Mike and Charles Mike. Even tho... not sure how creative Richie as a name is, as Tim's dad's name is Lucas Richard (but is usually called Richard) x'D

The story centers around crimes, yes, but it's not a crime story like NCIS or Criminal Minds (aka my favorite shows). It's a future set, slice-of life, that centers around Mike and Richie growing over their past selves and becoming someone you can respect. For Mike, he needs to learn how to be an honorable Grand Master, while Richie learns how to grow over his trauma. But then there's this serial killer, who murdered Richie's family and is still after Richie. I think the climax will revolve around Richie facing the origin of his trauma (aka the killer who hasn't gotten a name yet). There will be another criminal case tho, the one that triggers Mike and Richie's meeting. I also need a reason for that yet.

I haven't watched the anime since episode 3.
