Unsurprisingly, the idol industry isn&rsquo;t all sunshine and rainbows. Mystery Kiss is presenting a face-fa&ccedil;ade. It&rsquo;s not even subtle: Rui&rsquo;s backup dancers are contractually obligated to wear masks so Rui stands out &mdash; quite literally making them &ldquo;two-faced&rdquo; with contempt. By Episode 5, Shiho suggests that Rui is so ambitious she might&rsquo;ve already killed someone to get ahead. Mystery Kiss is a microcosm of <em><strong>ODDTAXI<\/strong><\/em>&rsquo;s ensemble cast at large. Everyone wears masks even when they don&rsquo;t want to.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ODDTAXI\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.ak.crunchyroll.com\/i\/spire2\/16fd1a3b99dc6f449f2fe6bf5eaab8751622265890_main.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px;height: 360px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Pretty in pink, better in leather.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\nEpisode 2 shows Mystery Kiss fanboy Shun having a sincere heart-to-heart with Rui during an event.

Even the tell-all idol persona Shun saw earlier wasn&rsquo;t the &ldquo;real&rdquo; Rui. In fact, Mystery Kiss&rsquo; manager, a bodyguard-sized fox, is withholding information from the girls. <strong><em>ODDTAXI<\/em><\/strong> doesn&rsquo;t waste time putting its ensemble through the wringer of mask-breaking situations.

By the end of Episode 3, <strong><em>ODDTAXI<\/em><\/strong> gives us enough hints to realize Shirakawa and Mystery Kiss are perhaps part of something bigger. Not to mention the uncanny resemblance between an 18-year-old and Shiho partaking in dubious behavior on a dating app, or a possible gangster conspiracy against Odokawa. Unsuccessful manzai comedians confide to Odokawa about the competitive entertainment industry, while two policemen meerkat brothers play favorites with criminals. The world is an unfair anti-meritocracy, but no one&rsquo;s insisting they&rsquo;re the special hero who will fix it.

In a world where everyone&rsquo;s a main character, Tanaka suffers from toxic protagonist syndrome. His inability to accept reality for what it is leads him down a violent crusade.
