the ghost mansion setting is so fun even if those children are going to give me a genuine headache every single time they appear. genta in particular is just a lot man (not bodyshaming). the mystery and setting were interesting enough to keep me going but the whole thing was more frustrating than exciting honestly

placing the detective boys inside a ghost legend setting is a structurally clever choice that leverages the contrast between the children's varying degrees of credulity to generate both comedy and genuine unease. the episode delivers its mystery competently even if the resolution is not particularly surprising.

mitsuhiko confidently declaring there are no ghosts in this scientific era and then immediately getting scared is such a classic bit. the children are SO ANNOYING and yet somehow the chaos they create is genuinely entertaining. this murder was honestly kind of deserved and i have no further comments on that.
