Don't Lie to Me - Paranormal Consultant 6

Usotoki Rhetoric #6

by Ritsu Miyako, Antje Bockel (Translator)

Die sechzehnjährige Kanoko hat eine besondere Gabe: Sie kann die Lügen anderer augenblicklich enttarnen! Lügt jemand in ihrer Gegenwart, hört sie ein seltsames, widerhallendes Geräusch. Als überaus ehrliches Kind plauderte sie munter die dunkelsten Geheimnisse ihrer Nachbarn aus. Seitdem wird sie ausgegrenzt und gemieden, sodass sich Kanoko schließlich auf die Suche nach einer neuen Heimat macht.
Als sie zufällig auf einen cleveren, aber faulen Detektiv trifft, erkennt dieser sofort ihr Potenzial. Ehe sie sich's versieht, steht sie Soma als Beraterin zur Seite. Mit ihrer übernatürlichen Fähigkeit und Somas Scharfsinn lösen die beiden allerhand Kriminalfälle. Von Geistererscheinungen über Diebstähle bis hin zu Entführungen stellen sie sich jeder Herausforderung.

The volumes that are mostly comprised of a single case are generally stronger than the many cases, and this is no exception. The author remarks that she's trying to write a detective story without the detective this time around, and while it isn't perfect - there's no The Old Man in the Corner for Kanoko - it's still a fun departure from formula and a decent mystery in itself.

"It's amazing, isn't it. The power of belief."

I love this series more and more with every volume! The last volume was one of my favorites, but honestly, this one might be even more so! LOL! (Do I detect a trend for the rest of the series?!)

Goodness, THE STAKES in this volume though!! I felt SO many emotions seeing Mr. Iwai be taken to jail!

But I admired Kanako SO much!! She did AMAZING! I love how her belief in Mr. Iwai being innocent and that he WAS framed kept her going strong when things were super rough in the beginning. As a result, I know I definitely didn't expect her to "tag team" with another character due to events in previous volumes!

AND THE BOMBSHELL HE DROPPED!!! :o :o :o

I don't know what to expect next volume because in between what that character said followed by finding out a little bit more about Mr. Iwai, it seems that our detectives are not going to be getting a break anytime soon! LOL!

But I'm eagerly looking forward to it! I really loved seeing Kanako shine and think it will give her more confidence in upcoming volumes as she continues to stand by Mr. Iwai's side like she desires.

Hoping the wait won't feel TOO long for the next volume because I'm already wanting it in my hands right now!

Kanoko is Iwai’s biggest fan! She always has nice things to say about him every volume.

The first chapter was a cute short story and mystery involving Mr. Kaoru Hanasaki, Mr. Iwai's childhood friend (and a such a cutie and major green flag).

The rest of the novel revolves around a murder mystery in which the primary suspect is non other than... Mr. Iwai??!

According to the author's note, she wanted to explore what would happen to the story if detective was out of the picture and it was up to the detective's assistant (Kanoko) to solve the crime. I loved this premise and though it was very well done. I also loved the reappearance of the mysterious Shiro (if that's even his real name!)

We also learn a bit about Mr. Iwai's past and I think we'll be learning more about him in subsequent volumes.

Cute manga. Give me 1920 (japanese version) detective novel vibes.

3.5⭐️

Things are heating up as the story progresses. We have not heard of Iwai's family till this volume and to top it off he has been framed for murder. Though Kanoko comes off as naive she does put in the effort this time around and show off her detecting skills. I am looking forward to see where the story takes us.

[Johan (ヨハン) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very interesting story in this volume. The mystery is still very much alive and of course our lovable characters continue to charm us. Worth every min you can spend read this amazing series

[Paola · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love the mysteries lol

[Sesana · Rating 4 out of 5]

The main mystery in this book brings up more questions than answers when solved, which is really intriguing. Looking forward to seeing those questions answered, hopefully soon.

Nothing was gonna stop Hanasaki from getting married right? 😂 Sakiko is so pretty 😍

That chapter was just so gooood Hanasaki being the sweet man that he is getting into trouble, Souma and Kanoko helping him
Their reactions killed me 😂
But Souma was such a good friend
Everybody deserves to live their life without lying to themselves

BUT damn this volume was crazy!!! I read it as fast as I can

That guy who claimes he's Shiro is so INTERESTING
Loved seeing him again

[ZJ Gamboa · Rating 4 out of 5]

That was the best one so far! Kanoko has gone real far as the main character, and Souma has had some depth to him as well. The "Shiro" villain thing really spiced the story up as well, allowing for some unexpected developments. Me likey.

⭐3 - i like it
Translator: Molly Rabbit

Heavy on the mysteries and we don't really get an answer to the one mystery I'm interested in!

Still I am really enjoying all of the characters. Even the ones who are meant to be the antagonist.

[Kurtis Burkhardt · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really great Romance Mystery manga, Love the compelling story and characters😻😻🧐👌❤️

[Erika · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love the atmosphere of this series.
And a relationship between Sohma and Kanako.

[Victor · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ooooooo overarching plot building! My favorite manga right now gets denser!

[Hisgirl85 · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 stars. More mysteries and world building brought forth in an interesting way. Our heroine went off by herself to help the framed detective. We get more of the mysterious guy. Cool beans.

[Emmy · Rating 4 out of 5]

We can see a larger plot starting to develop here. Lots of juicy stuff!
