Kobyashi seems like a newbie, kinda fitting for a lower rank detective I guess.

I find the episode interesting as it also introduced Akechi, a more capable detective. Yup, I think this episode felt refreshing as well because it didn't just focus on an ordinary case about Kindaichi or his adventures. Idk how I feel about the case itself, seemed kinda of like it was dragging until the second half. Akechi a pretty cool dude even for a detective.

Going to give this 7.5\10. The case was great and differs from the usual.

Quite good.

Maybe a future episode on what will happen to the bookstore lady and delinquent?

This was simply a great case. Best one so far in this season.

That was a very refreshing case, there wasn't any murder which is a nice change of pace. The apology scene at the end was heartwarming.
I thought this would be the season finale, so I'm glad there'll be more episodes.
PS: Kobayashi's haircut looks somewhat similar to Akechi's, not our silver-haired detective but the character with the same name from Game of Laplace... coincidence?

Shame we can't see that :(

Sorry Kindaichi but Akechi won because of that smile xD

Pretty good overall. Kinda wanted to see how Akechi handled the corrupted politician but we'll see in the future. 7/10
