I am not disappointed! The characters I am interested in show up in this volume and the characters that do not show up don't!

Okay to be real. I don't know what people expected from this book but even before it starts we are already told what to expect from the words on the cover "there is no relation," I set my expectations accordingly. This was actually one of the most decent volumes of the series ngl, extremely misleading but I can't say I didn't like it.

The series overall was quite entertaining, and I can see a lot of people liking it. Looking forward to reading saikyou in a year or so.

I am so disappointed! The characters I am interested in hardly show up in this volume and the characters that do show up are so fucking dull! Although the satire to the Japanese murder mysteries is nice and the backdrop of this story is Kyoto which is awesome, but I can't think of anything else which is good in this book!

It was ok, I know a lot of people expected more from this one. At least now we know he is still alive 8 years after the endings of Zaregoto.
I wonder who will receive the souvenirs he bought.
