| Tsutsui is back in Jump with another romcom. Syd is funny and his over the top reactions were funny too. Souffle is the police officer and Elio is his assistant. He wanted Elio to leave early so that he could read his romance novel lol. Also interested to see was Elio hiding her identity at the end there. Anyway a really cute and fun start. The female characters are cute and Syd is funny. Looking forward to more. |
| nice someone added it to mal. |
| not bad for a start. |
 |
| I hope that future cases will be much harder, like the barmaid's reaction while hearing about corps was enough to assume she was a culprit, and we could immediately see victim was on that photo. Same with Elio being a girl and Inspector being his childhood love, too obvious (I was surprised Syd didn't knew about Elio's gender). Author could easily draw Elio to look more manly/androgynous and make her true gender "big twist"... but obviously if she didn't looked like a girl from the start her appearance wouldn't "sell" that much. So yeah, if writing of misteris will not improve I don't see this series surviving for long. I recommend reading/watchng "Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions". |

| Yeah where could their childhood friend be, I wonder lmao. Knew she was the childhood friend and the assistant was obviously a girl. Where is the romance he's waiting for smh. The case was obvious as that's just how things go for the guy when he gets involved with a woman as he mentioned but was still funny to see it happen. Shame since the women were all pretty. But he still has Souffle and Elio. Great to have the GOAT Taishi Tsutsui back in wsj. BokuBen remain one of my fav harem romcom. I was wondering how he'll fare doing a mystery manga but this is just a romcom in disguise. |

Yes, Ron Kamonohashi is peak mystery manga. Plot, characters, mc, Lord, and everything is captivating.
Ykb!!

Bungo Stray Dogs, Death Note, Erased, Summertime Rendering, Pandora Hearts, Ajin etc. Wys?
Sure, calling Ron Kamonohashi peak was a stretch but it's a good read. I personally like it and find it entertaining.
Satisfied?
CheliosX said: There's night and day difference between the word peak and good lol. Again I have nothing against you liking Ron or finding it to be a good read. I liked it too and thought it was a decent read. But as a fan of the og popular/acclaimed mystery novels like sherlock seeing someone call ron peak mystery was itching me the wrong way.Sure, calling Ron Kamonohashi peak was a stretch but it's a good read.

The moment mc got involved with the bar woman it was instantly a case with her being the culprit because the mc literally mentioned how each and every women he got involved with was a murderer, serial killer or such. Yeah! I knew too that the barwoman was the culprit way before seeing the corpse! That she was left handed caught me off guard, and I liked it because the manga already gave u the panel with the photos but one usually read to the next panel without paying attention. And thanks to look again that panel, I quickly guessed about her left arm being wounded by a bullet when I saw the gun. I was really waiting to the reveal part ASAP since it was very obvious she was the culprit but the fact that the dead was someone who also apperead in the same panel of photos caught me off of guard again! Overall, it was an enjoyable read. Syd is funny and I am looking forward for the next case~ |
| Detective Conan is one of my all time favorite series, I love a mix of mystery and romance melodrama. This clearly skews more romcom but it has a bit of a shaky foundation. I diddnt understand why they were referring to Elio as a man because they were clearly a girl. The old flame being the cop was super obvious from the flashback and was a weak twist to end the chapter. I like the MC even if he is falling into the current fad of anxious awkward protags like in kyoshi or shinobi. His distaste for murder while falling into cases is a fun dynamic but with how weak the mystery writing is I can see it become set dressing for romantic hijinks around corpses. I am not super invested yet but am more curious what direction they decide to take the story. |
| This reminds me a bit of 'unubore deka', a show where a detective falls in love with female criminals. |

| This was pretty fucking funny! Nice clean, crisp character art and the dialogue sent my sides to orbit. Can't wait to read more of this series! |

| @MegamiRem But that's the thing, sport in Blue Box is still good, you care if character win and lose. It's good blend of romance and sport making one of big reasons why Blue Box is so popular. Marriagetoxin is also good blend of action and romans, same with "Make the Exorcist Fall in Love" being good blend of romance, depression and suffering. So if future cases will not improve readers will lose interests in detective element, so only readers who will stay reading it will only cares about ships. Which overall will hinder popularity and maybe even will end prematurely. Also I think you misunderstood my "Elio criticism", she looks obviously as a girl because she wouldn't be "widely popular". If she really looked like a guy (had good disguise) she wouldn't be marketable tomboy*tm character. Same with comedy, which is a very personal thing. For me, first chapter wasn't particularly funny. like brilliant detective obviously wouldn't be interested in mystery novels because they would guess everything immediately. |

| If every chapter plays out the same way (with the crush-of-the-week being the culprit), then the mysteries are going to get really predictable really fast, LOL. I mean, that's not much of a problem, since it seems that most people predicted that the bartender was the killer in chapter 1 anyway, so unpredictability doesn't seem to be what Syd Craft's going for. As long as the jokes and character-building in-between those mysteries is solid, then I'm not gonna complain. :P |
