see my review for volume 1 for my thoughts but the gist of it is pretty art and chill story

i will say the depiction of kiyotaka and akihito's friendship progresses more naturally in the manga than in the anime

i leave you with another screencap but this time of kiyotaka in a yukata

Pořád mi připadá neuvěřitelný, že někdo požádá kluka, co oceňuje starožitnosti, aby rozlouskl rodinnou záhadu, ale vlastně mě druhý díl bavil víc než ten první. Jestli bude mít série stoupající tendenci, příští díl už bude za 4* ☺️

Tentokrát musím dát 5 hvězdiček, protože tenhle díl byl skvělý. Holmesův a Aoin výlet do chrámu v horách, případ dědictví po zesnulém spisovateli, vyřešení situace s Aoiným bývalým a její nejlepší kamarádkou... Bylo to opravdu, opravdu moc hezké. A navíc plné zajímavých informací o Kjótu.

I'm so happy with how this story is continuing! I hope Aoi gets her closure and then her Holmes!

This Is nice, there are interesting one shot stories interspersed with moments that build the main characters. I hope we will not have to wait for the romance forever though.
