Dangit, looks like this isn't quite over yet! Houtarou's sister comes to visit and just so happens to have that manga Mayaka was looking for eh? :P Then the thief gets by everyone by skipping one character ... and Mayaka and Chitanda find out who the artist is! This is getting good!
Houtarou tells Satoshi about what he's thinking. Obviously something to do with the Christie mysteries, the manga group, and of course the thief himself ... dangit. Kind of a bit sad for Satoshi at the end there, when he realizes that he won't be able to solve it by himself and pretty much has to rely on Houtarou again ... that's gotta be rough for him.
The final (?) episode of this arc next time, I'm assuming? Also lol @ Chitanda hitting her head on the show XD

Awwwwww,.. Oreki's being a douche this episode. Chitanda's working her !@#$%^&* off to show off (to him?!), and event though he might care, he doesn't show it. He doesn't even compliment her on getting on the broadcast.

Seems all is forgiven though, as he did just crack a huge part of the mystery's code.

The dynamic of Satoshi and Houtarou being equal is changing. Satoshi is becoming increasingly jealous of him and knows that he is unable to compete with him.


He got put back in place though, failing at the Global Act club, while Houtarou made a lot more progress doing nothing, and the scene with the two of them at the walkway suggests that Satoshi accepts this.

Oreki's development hasn't been nearly as impressive as I'd have expected really.


I think you were missing the point. He's just in denial. Hence Satoshi's remarks, hence Mayaka's laughter last episode. Remember also it was Oreki who was first worried about Chitanda, sensing she was getting tired. He failed to ask her about it though, and later fails again, because he's trying to stay in character. The truth is though, old Oreki would never have even noticed.

The juumonji mysteries is hit me a bit but for me the most mysterious is about oreki sister.Chitanda say she meet her before and I don't think she just guessing since chitanda had a very good memory.Btw I think oreki sister have something to do with the manga that Ibara looking.It's seem that oreki sis is the mastermind from my option ofc.

Wow, Eri. Wow. Ep 16.

Plot: Oreki get a surprise visit from his sister and gets a certain doujin as payment. A corpse by Midnight. As the mystery of the Juumonji peaks to a head on the last day things are not going good for Satoshi and Ibara. Ibara suffers a humiliation and Satoshi keeps failing to win. As Oreki tried to connect the dots between the newly acquired manga and Juumonji, Chitanda suffers a humiliation of her own. Ouch.

Character: Satoshi man. You're cracking. His database origin is really working against him here. And I can see his frustration and get it. A thousand people and Oreki is gonna solve it without second guessing? That'd put anyone on edge.

Poor Ibara. That scene with the Society was just one of those things where someone would get hurt. But the wonderful smile she got from knowing she might meet her favorite creative team? Now that's a look I can get behind.

Chitanda was adorable as usual but her Curiosity got kinda high with that Yandere smile.

Lol at Oreki. Just keep the funny train going.

Animation/sound: The faces man. The faces from funny, to drama, rage. It was just good.

5/5. The penultimate ep for the Juumonji incident. Let's see where it ends.


I go where I wanna go, even if its into Oppai.

What if Oreki's sis is actually Anjou Haruna? Maybe thats why she has the book and apparently bought herself one. Maybe she knew what tanabe was planning and decided to "help out" indirectly, given she knows Oreki pretty much inside out. Also when she said "stave off your boredom" what if she already knew Oreki would go into this mystery,as if the mystery was to be his entertainment? This is all just theory,speculation and fanboying/fangirling so yeah.

uau. Nice episode. I did not expect this manga would appear in the plot of this arc.
He left the more interesting arc, and before also was very interesting. I liked the president of the fair organization is related to illustration. I'm curious to know more details of Kugayama Muneyoshi and Anjou haruna-writer.
I have many questions about the Jumonji thief, why he has not appeared and attacked when the classic club.
The relation about books of christie and case juumonji so very intriguing, I am quite expectations how the mysteries and how they will be resolved in the arch of the outcome.
I have much expectatives about Eru chitanda,about what she will say in radio transmission in next episode.
I hope radio transmission revaled more key points about jumonji mystery.
A almost forget say like to see cosplay Mai of king of fighters in room of club of manga.

This series is really becoming a fun watch. The intrigue is spot on right now, the character interactions are in peak form, and Satoshi's jealousy of Oreki is adding more depth to their dynamic. This has gone from something I was pretty ambivalent about to a show I'll miss once it's over.

I can't really feel sorry for Satoshi. He is getting jealous on it's own and is showing his ugly side. Oreki don't even know wtf is with him. I would get pretty pissed when I don't know why my friend is getting so bitchy suddenly at me.

Chitanda can be such a klutz at times. And Satoshi is hella jealous of Oreki, that's not nice. Maya really has a hard time with club members like that, wouldn't be surprised if she quits the manga society after this festival.

What the hell is up with that manga club? I'm thinking their treatment of Mayaka must somehow tie into the overall mystery or they wouldn't spend so much time on it. Can't wait to see in what way.

Wow this mystery has me completely off, i can't follow shit this time around xD i think its just from the translations from Japanese to English that have thrown me off this time around cus there seems to be a lot.
eeeee real feels bad for Mayaka, why the fuck do people gotta do her like that. Shits rough :c
Lmao i always like the "the least expected thing you'd think the character could enjoy" actually enjoy it. In this case finding out Houtarou has a thing for manga like the one was given was a laughable surprise.
Chitanda is literally too innocent and cute for this world i swear. Houtarou don't you dare lewd her. Also her eyes immediately fucking dulling after being told "adult content" scared the shit outta me idk why.
Juumonji stole guitar strings from the K-On club? Oooow i can almost hear Yui scream in horror as someone has MASSACRED her poor Giita while Azusa try's to calm her down xD

Why the hate for Satoshi?
This is very interesting character development for him. His desire surpass Oreki add an interesting dynamic in their interaction. I hope you haters didn't watch too much harem and no longer able to enjoy good male rivalry in anime.


Actually, I really feel Satoshi's pain. When I was in high school (feels like ages ago now), I was in band, and there was always someone who outshone me in every instrument I played. And in programming class (my eventual major and now longtime career), I always felt like I was second fiddle, levels behind others who seemed (at the time) to be amazing at programming.

I think it's something many people feel, and to come to terms with it is hard, especially when the one always outshining you is your friend (as it was with me as well). The fact is Satoshi is better than he thinks, and even Oreki says so later (in the Valentine ep), but he has no self-confidence, and can't evaluate his own skills and what he wants to do in life (again, a very similar sentiment to the high school me as well). It's why I think I can really understand Satoshi's frustrations and envy so well...

From a Western point of view, most certainly, but this would be very much out-of-character for Japanese high school culture, where senpai reign supreme and acting out against others, especially violently, is discouraged from a very young age. Japanese in general are very unlikely to speak their mind out against anything in a public setting (this is called "tatemae", basically one's public "face"), and save their true feelings for close-knit groups (where they can show their "hon-ne", or true feelings). It makes their politics very difficult for a foreigner to follow!

Unfortunately, bullying as shown (very rarely physical violence, but very often dirty and nasty pranks and even vandalism) is also very common in Japan (as it is in the US as well, as I can attest to). But, where as an American might eventually snap and beat up their bully (or much, much worse), that kind of reaction is very rare in Japan. Mayaka's reaction is actually pretty much what you would expect in general from a high school girl in a similar situation.

The culprit skipped some things rather than what Satoshi had in mind Oreki's sister is in school didn't expect to see her in school but she did mention that to Oreki and here we go again with Eru's curiosity which I probably will never get bored of

These low life scums need to get out of Mayaka's life they're treating her so bad and Mayaka didn't cause them any problems they're getting on my nerves just stop already

Eru got carried away greeting the host and accidentally hit the mic poor Eru, Clumsy Eru being Eru

Lol Chitanda, that introduction was funny.

The annoying Mayaka drama continues. I don't even understand why this bullying is happening in the first place.

Also Chitanda got a bit too annoying this episode, even for Oreki. There isn't really a reason to tell her his theories if she won't do anything with them. Oreki's reason to avoid that was funny. And Satoshi keeps getting himself into a depression for no reason. From what we saw, he didn't really do much to solve it besides going to those 2 events because "it was obvious" which turned out to not be so obvious, whereas Oreki actually thinks about the mystery as a whole.

I really hate it when a character gets bullied but doesn't fight back. She's so good at criticizing Houtarou yet can't do a single thing when she's bullied. But I guess being violent doesn't suit her character.
