Shoko Asami - a veteran reporter and the aunt to Misaki Suzuhara - has been tasked with the most ambitious interview of her life: Benjamin Rhodes, the biggest mover and shaker behind the scenes, killing baddies, saving the girls, and getting all the good guys to network.
The interview would, of course, focus on the most controversial aspects of his life - namely how he is married to so many other girls. Thoughts?
