I also respectfully disagree with your lack of expectation of romance from this show. It is obvious from the beginning that Mayaka likes Satoshi and the first time Eru unleashes her eyes on Houtarou he has the whole flowers and hair thing, from that moment on he has been smitten. The hot springs episode showed it even more. He didn't "over heat" just because of the motion sickness or the heat of the hot spring, it was hearing Chitanda splashing water on herself and imagining her naked!

Then there was the OVA, where he looks at Mayaka's face, Satoshi's face, and scans up and down on Eru taking in the curves before looking at her face!

Then in the episode before this, when Mayaka asked him why he doesn't just refuse Eru's requests, he tells her that she isn't someone he can say no to. Mayaka understands exactly what this means, even if Houtarou seems to be slightly unclear on it.

The story has been building romantic tension in very subtle ways the entire time.

I forgot to mention this earlier...

But Mayaka is seen using the Wing-pen that Nizuma Eiji (from Bakuman) commonly uses.

I'm loving this mystery!!!! I barely can't wait for the next episode D:

I kind of felt the same way...

Oreki : it involves a very adult topic

Chitanda : I'm more curious!

Great episode, this mystery is getting more interesting. It is nice all arc the story lines are coming together. Hopefully, there's a more satisfying conclusion than the last arc.

I would have to disagree that oreki's sister is the culprit or is directly involved. That seems too obvious. She does appear to know about juumonji, since she gave oreki the manga with a key clue.

Satoshi is beginning to annoy me, but I understand his feelings of lack of advancement and unimportance. I think he's overreacting. He's focusing too much on his failures and the differences between him and Oreki.

Chitanda~!!

Loved Chitanda's reaction to him mentioning the "adult stuff". Girl is just too pure, her mind cannot grasp the concept -> shutdown (well, at least her Soulgaze(TM) got shut down temporarily)

Also, Mayaka should have just roundhouse-kicked that bitch outte the window.


Oh, and we all know by now, Oreki's sister is a troll, wouldn't be surprised if she was behind all this, or at least somehow involved behind things.



And the last part with eru headbutting the mic... damn you, muscle memory. And it was SOOOOOOOOO her.

Chi-chan haha such a clutz but that what i love about her, Ibara has been messed with the whole weekend give the girl some slack it man sheesh (on another note that mai outfit) not nice to mess with someone that much, i swear the if they make her cry....... yo im in there and we adult now? haha Chitanda will not be corrupted stay pure forever

Oreki is so damn smart for someone who doesnt care haha while satoshi get on my nevres sometimes

This is getting good, cant wait for them to connect the dots next episode

I really am interested in the 'background' relationship between Oreki and Satoshi. I can see where Satoshi is coming from -- a person who longs to become great, yet will always pale in comparison to the naturally gifted.

It's obvious that Satoshi's trying to accomplish something himself but is bested by Oreki every time. Poor dude. Chitanda was insanely adorable this episode, but is she really that immature that she refuses to listen to a little "adult" content?

I am slightly starting to get a bit bored by this show again; but perhaps that is because I am losing interest in the mystery... Anyhow, the development of Satoshi as a character seems to be executed well so far and I am still somewhat looking forward to seeing how this all ends.

Wow, Hyouka continue to impress me with this school fest arc.
I didn't expect that all of the clues and which seemed unrelated things could get together and get interesting
Really great ep

The Jumonjii incident is slowly being revealed !!

Great ep!
Can't wait for the next one!

chitanda is now officially a moe yandere x) teehee

Poor Satoshi. I can't help but feel a little sorry for him in this episode; Oreki's always besting him, isn't he?
Chitanda was pretty cute, although I did feel a little annoyed when she was all like, "I'm just as curious, so why does only Fukube-san get to know?" or something like that.
I also wonder how Oreki's going to act when he learns of her screw-up during the broadcast.

Also, the mystery is starting to get really interesting. The whole "ABC Murders" theory was pretty good, imo, but I'm sure there's more. I'm beginning to like this arc a lot more.

God, those eyes when Chitanda was determined to know what Oreki had thought of. She just wouldn't quit until he said that it involved "adult" stuff LOL.

Can't stand Mayaka being bullied, the students from the Manga Society... sigh.

And Detective Oreki strikes! Can't help but feel sorry for Satoshi though, i really like him as a character. At this rate he might just develop an inferiority complex due to being outclassed by Oreki almost every time.

Also, i LOL-ed at the end when Chitanda hit her head during the radio show xD

Not too big of a fan of the mystery in this arc; it feels a bit bland. And redundant. That said, with all the Christie references I'm actually kind of interested in picking up one of her novels. Feels like I'm missing out on something big, having not read any of her works before.

And as irritating I normally find Chitanda to be, she was actually okay episode. The end gave me a laugh, I'll give her that.
