EPISODE REVIEWS

In this episode, the protagonists make some progress in their relationship, and the central theme becomes clear: they must express their feelings if they want to avoid future confusion and regrets. This is ultimately illustrated by a heartbreaking separation where the husband abandons his wife for the most ridiculous reason imaginable. I want this anime to end soon.

The mystery on today's episode is great in not just exploring the background of Holmes' family life, all the while allowing Aoi and Holmes to get closer than ever.

Unfortunately, this episode feels really slow. It seems to focus on further developing the relationship between Holmes and Aoi. The animation is also pretty rough, with several shots having noticeably off proportions. The mystery itself is interesting, using a ghost story as a cover, but the payoff is just okay.
