Airhead cat lover with a yakuza fetish? Sadistic childhood friend? Reverse Trap high school yakuza boss? Animators and writers who must be on acid?
You had me at acid.
Sense - this makes none
The plot this week introduces a new character, and again I have a new favorite. Ichinose, to spoil the fairly obvious reveal of this episode, is the newest unintentional love interest for Kousaka. I refer to her as a reverse trap - rather than the guy who looks like a girl, she is a girl who looks like a guy. The method of the reveal is also pretty obvious.
The Japanese are a very clumsy people
Even the inflection in her voice changes depending on the situation. Nothing like a bi-polar yakuza member to add to the fun.
The rest of the story has plot points that include the cliche
How many episodes will this go on?
The unexpected
This is not how you react to finding yourself in a Yakuza stronghold
To the WTF?
No. God No.
The visual style of this show lands it firmly in the area of gag anime, with bizzare visual twists and turns like those below.
You can’t resist my Geass!
An important ecological message.
Also, I am convinced all Japanese people are muppets
There is a felt shortage in the Far East

I like your theory. It explains a lot about Holmes/Watson too (both old and new), which, while not incest, always has turn-century-homophobia giving it a charge. Even if the writer doesn't choose to deal with the question of transgression directly, there's always going to be a reason that H&W can't be open about their relationship ladies leather handbags.
