That was actually a pretty good episode, probably one of (if not) the best episode in the series. The show definitely would work a lot better if all of it was structured like this. Like a quasi-anthology series (like Violet Evergarden, some part of Dororo etc.), where we see the cases and people more from their perspective, and where the main duo is on the sideline and we see them when they interact with the cases, and their story and relationship evolve through these.
Though Kotoko is cute and likable, and I don't have any problem with Kurou, their relationship doesn't evolve (which makes it stagnant and boring), and when the camera focuses on them too long, we mostly get incredibly tedious and long explanations, and an exposition dump from Kotoko, and that isn't fun at all and really boring.

The second half of the first season was actually terrible, but this episode at least gave me hope, that maybe the show can improve (though it is still a longshot because it is most likely dependent on the source material), if they would take the show don't tell to heart, and leave out the fcking expositions and long explanations in monologues.
Because generally, I like the characters, the setting, the music, and the atmosphere, but it didn't seem in most episodes, that they know how to translate a light novel (that has a lot of monologues and explanations I assume) into a very visual medium. 

PS.: The Yuki Onna was also hot asf. And though I understand, that he could have felt pathetic due to feeling, like taking advantage of her/ trading "money" for intimacy, if he took up on her offer, and then his treats could have felt indecent to himself, you shouldn't decline such an offer from a beautiful, immortal yokai, who isn't dependent on you so you aren't really in a power advantage :)

Aw, this episode was super comfy and while I know this show is about solving cases, I was hoping nothing bad would ever happen, Aoi Yuuki makes every show 10x times better.

The dynamic between Masayuki and the Yuki-Onna are really great i hope their characters will get more screen time!

TLDR; this is a great episode!

Kyokou Suiri is not for those who hate the detective genre because this series contains too much content to grasp, so it is underestimated, but in fact, if you understand it, it will be extremely logical.

Pretty good episode, I also think like others in this discussion, specially with ookami and yuki-onna being awesome, and Aoi Yukki in this show it's 10 times better. Poor guy btw, being betrayed 3 times.

The first episode was kinda boring with the reintroductions (not that they weren't needed), but this one was quite nice!
Loved the yuki-onna. I hope we get to see her more in future eps. (Would be nice to have the new guy and her as a new romantic subplot).
She being voiced by Yuuki Aoi is also a plus.

Falling off a cliff may be bad, but in someone's case, it can be lucky.

The humble yokai Yuki-onna meeting Masayuki Muroi in the verge of death and saving him faster than the local authorities ever will. This is a secret that he will take to the grave, amidst the allegation that this was a lover's spat between friends, one that led Masayuki to never go mountain-climbing again.

11 years later, and coincidentally meeting the yuki-onna who saved his life the time prior, karma has struck again causing distrust within the young adult, but he's in a better position than before with the only trust given to her. This goes back to the Yuki-Onna relationship with Kotoko, and her human perspective is a godsend to them in mind that the yokai don't affect the humans' life too much, to the extent of sexual relations.

So what does the Yuki-Onna have in relation to Masayuki's case where his recently divorced wife was murdered? Only Kuro and Kotoko can intervene.

Mamoru Miyano's ED is back, though I prefer Season 1's ED.
Also, manga readers should automatically know that the ED visual is actually Volume 11's cover.

This guy is cursed alright. Getting backstabbed times after times to the point of having trust issue, and then ended up as a murder suspect.

This episode was fantastic. Excellent chemistry between Masayuki and the Yuki-Onna and they picked the perfect seiyuu for her (not that I disagree with many choices in this regard).

Poor Masayuki deserves better. While he does get some lucky moments, his life seems to be filled with obstacles hell bent on ruining him. =(

Firstly was his best friends, who pushed him off a mountain due to his jealous of a girl that he likes being interest more in Masayuki. Fortunately for him, the beautiful Yuki-Onna saved him, gave him an igloo for shelter for the night and carried him to his destination so that he could tell the truth about he his friend did, so that he'll be arrested.

11 years later, the two meet again in the town close to the mountains. Masayuki had already gone through more misfortune of divorcing his wife after she cheated on him and then his hard work with the company that he started up going in the direction that he didn't want it to go in. You can't blame him for having trust issues, but he was happy to see the Yuki-Onna again, this time wearing a lovely casual sleeveless top and skirt in public while eating an ice-cream.

Pretty much a lot of this episode was with him and the Yuki-Onna talking to each other, which is what made the episode itself very enjoyable due to how good their chemistry was. I was amused when she didn't mind wanting to get intimate with him as a way to repay after she thought she took advantage of him a bit too much, even more so when she was given approval of it from none other than Kotoko herself! XD

Sadly, Masayuki's luck would yet again go down the toilet as the police arrives to tell him that his ex-wife was murdered. With that, it's up to Kotoko and Kuro to help out and solve this mystery, which I hope they do. Overall, this second episode was great, through and through.

While I still prefer the ED from the first season, this new ED song from Mamoru Miyano still sounds chill and relaxing. =)

A strong episode to start this latest mystery off, almost entirely excluding Kotoko and Kuro to instead focus on introducing and establish Masayuki and his yuki-onna "friend". Definitely a big improvement after a necessary but mediocre first episode.

You know... for a show focused on solving mysteries and stuff, this sure was a great "romance-focused" episode. Now I 100% want a set of OVAs focused solely on Masayuki and Yuki-Onna's daily life. Seriously, I was so invested in their relationship I totally forgot this was Kotoko's anime lol.

An episode without the main characters feels so refreshing, even though it is only the second episode after some years since season one.

Gotta say, loved these two new characters, but once the case is done I guess they will be gone.

Also, the funniest fact for me in this episode was that Yuki Onna likes to play Resident Evil 4.

random killing attempt out of nowhere lol
the spirit(?) girl sure is pretty
1:34 and 1:56 - that girl appears in the opening, pretty indeed
1:51 wtf is that fanservice lol

oh so she is a yuki-onna
ok screw that guy lol she is pretty

she sure is a fan of that writer, and ofc she enjoys human food, how kawaii
he is obviously hurt from the fall, so... princess carry it is lol

"dont tell anyone about me or i'll kill you" "so i just need to tell someone about you if i want to die?" LOL these kind of interactions are always amusing

the guy was talking to the police and he appeared, that was some nice timing lol
wow getting mad and pushing him just cause your friend didn't remember the girl you like? ok then (is that the actual reason? this anime likes to lie lol)

oh, yay for the guy actually reading the book, wonder if they will meet again and talk about it
apparently he is too scared to ever goback to the mountains... understandable

wtf 11 years time skip , and he looked at the mountain... you better go look for your waifu :v
oh nvm, i forgot she likes to come to town and eat human food lol
cute hair and clothes, nothing like the one she had before "to look the part"
her face when she realised it's him :D
still, would be funny if that wasn't actually her, and she had to come kill him cause he said that to someone

"i guess i can't hide my beauty" LOL indeed, she is too pretty to hide

ayakashi can see auras and stuff, interesting

geez, he almost died again because of a woman LOL

"enough money to have a luxury life for more than 30 years" wtf, what a job he had huh

they look so happy together lol it will hurt my heart if something bad happens and the yuki-onna gets exorcised or something, i'll hate Kotoko forever lol
oh Kotoko knows about it and says it's fine, hopefully it stays that way

the seduction attempts, apparently it's ok if they use protection LOL

ah ofc something was gonna happen to them, but at least it's not what i was expecting so maybe nothing happens to either of them after Kotoko does her research

Fantastic episode. I'm rooting for this couple. I wish more anime did relationships like this, without the yelling and "comedy" they cram into their episodes. 

I'm sure this type of episode is too great to continue, but more episodes like the first half of season 1 are fine with me!

Somehow, the "love story" in this episode was not only better than the rest of this series but also many of the romance and RomComs I have seen. Completely forgot that I was watching In/Spectre tbh. Seriously, can't they make a bunch of OVAs focused on these two? Also, a strong way to start the mystery of the second season.

11 years later, he meets her and reminisces. Damn, Masayuki has been betrayed a lot. It's good to watch them both together without any problems. Such a cute rabbit.

OMG, this Yuki-onna is so adorable and lovable, I love the whole story and interactions she has with this guy she saved. I could serious watch a whole season of this couple just doing their slice of life lowkey romance with each other. This guy is kind of reserved and stoic like Kurou, but he doesn't come off boring and a "stick in the mud" like Kurou does. They're a really cute couple together, I hope things don't go bad for them.

This episode alone felt WAY better than the entire first season and the past episode 😤
These two felt more human, charismatic, interesting and with WAY more chemistry between them without being edgy or overly dramatic, in my opinion.
I truly enjoyed the episode from beginning to end.

Fun fact, a friend recommended me this series just because this snow woman story. "You can just watch those episodes, no need to go watch the first season" he said hahaha. No way I was gonna watch Ep 2 of a S2 from a show I didn't know. I put it on my PTW and literally forgot about it for months. I picked it from the PTW without knowing how it got there, watched S1 and gave it a 6/10. Then S2... and I see the snow witch in the OP... I instantly remembered! haha.

Aoi Yuuki's performance can't be missed, a bit rough in her tone but sexy. And Furukawa Makoto's soothing voice is a nice match for this character.

I could watch a whole, slow-cook, season with just slice of life stuff from these two! 😌
I know we won't get it... but I would watch it and love it.
