This episode is definitely much better written, as it doesn't try to establish Holmes as a top-notch detective solving convenient cases. This time, there are domestic problems, with intricate mysteries that are nonetheless contingent on the circumstances. The poems fit well with two literature enthusiasts, and the pottery not only adds dimensions to the conflict but also provides cultural context. On the other hand, we have Aoi suffering from having terrible ex-friends and ex-boyfriend, a problem that's easy to relate to. The resolution is satisfying, although I'm quite bothered by having to witness the development of a romance between a minor and a university student. Obviously, it's clear from the beginning that this is going to happen, but it's still morally wrong, and therefore, I'm unable to enjoy the blossoming of this romance.
