Synopsis
Kochikame's gag-driven plots follow Ryou-san's doomed money schemes amid absurd, unexplained character quirks and minimal police work.
The typical Kochikame plot involves Ryou-san coming up with a money-making scheme by inventing a new gadget or capitalizing on a fad, achieving great success, calling on Nakagawa's 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 (Nakagawa's wealth, Maria's appeal, everyone's lack of actual police work), most of which is never explained or rationalized in the slightest.

- 10 “If you can read this in Japanese and LOL, then you are Japanese! What you find in this series, is almost every aspect of traditional and modern Japanese life depicted in one small police box next...”
- 9 “I find it hilarious that such a "historical masterpiece" (historical: started in 1976 and influenced the whole generation) has no review, until someone write a better one, I will keep this here....”
