The typical Kochikame plot involves Ryo-san coming up with a money-making scheme by inventing a new gadget or capitalizing on a fad, achieving great success, calling on Nakagawa ms help as things turn sour, and finally losing it all as the fad runs out of steam or out of control. While the plots are gag-driven, much of the humor comes from the juxtaposition of mundane characters with the bizarrely incongruous (Nakagawan s wealth, Maria s appeal, everyone s lack of actual police work), most of which is never explained or rationalized in the slightest. One of the longest running shounen mangas, with over 1500 chapters and still going.
A great manga with 17xx chapters and more ! Each chapter is funny and there have 367 episodes with 2 movies.
There have also a j-drama adaptation.
I have see this anime in my childhood and even now i can remember. Unfortunately it's hard to find episodes in raw and so the fansubs can't really translate episodes...
