Disaster at the Marukane department store's grand reopening was averted thanks to the efforts of Koichi, Pop Step and their band of low-end idols. But a greater calamity was prevented by the clash between Knuckleduster and Kuin Hachisuka, who was possessing Tamao, Knuckleduster's own wayward daughter! In the end, Knuckleduster nearly had to kill Tamao to free her from the villainous entity possessing her. Now that he has achieved his goal and saved her, is Knuckleduster through with his life as a vigilante?
For teen audiences.

    This volume had a slow start that I found slightly underwhelming, but it quickly regained it's footing with a fun undercover romp with exciting characters. It was great to see some favorites like Midnight and Fat Gum in the spotlight again too. Furuhashi has a neat knack for showcasing familiar characters in his story and capturing their character accurately without allowing them to overshadow his own creations, as seen by Kaniko stealing the show here (Koichi only dreams he was a comic relief character this badass!) The trip to Naniwa was a short but sweet arc that provided something fresh and promised more to come with the debut of a new threat. Looks like season 2 of Vigilantes is off to a solid start!
