Reviews

[hotsake (André Troesch) · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5/5
Just a goofy, entertaining read.

[Andrew · Rating 4 out of 5]

The main mystery in this volume is a fun one. Closer to a standard "cozy mystery" than most of the earlier ones. And the blatant fan-service in earlier volumes isn't quite as evident in this one.

In nine volumes, they've made very little progress with the sub-plot of Himuro's back-story, but it looks like they plan to address that in the final volume.
