★★★⯪☆

The police case is cleared up, but the one-eyed police boss publicly mentions Konan twice and is switching to be closer to him, and Ai hides behind Konan… despite stating to not know him as Rum, this is suspicious.

Ran and Shinichi preschool episodes. Something for the double-X chromosome bearers among the readers, I suppose. Their not-romance is as bad as Heiji’s. Funnily enough, Konan seems to be the least arse to the girls, compared with Shinichi and Heiji…

And a new case begins… also out of romane and fangirling (and fanboying). Of course it turns into murder, otherwise we’d not read Meitantei Konan here. This does get a bit boring. Tantei Gakuen Q was better balanced.

Eher mäßig. Der „rote“ Fall hat mich ganz durcheinandergebracht, dem konnte ich nicht ganz folgen. Die anderen auch eher naja.

Aber der U-Bahn-Code ist schon nett.

Glückskatze! <3

The organisation in black arc has opened many more questions than it closed. We learnt a bit about several people, but others’ motivations have become just so much less clear :/

The shôgi one… uh well. I know Chess and i-go, but not that.

Nice physics tricks finish the band.

Things are picking up again. Loved the tea chemistry lesson, and to see the differences between Japan and gaijin countries (though I didn’t appreciate the slight against “German-looking guy”). And what’s up with Bourbon and the FBIdiots?

More physics (continuation from the last, and an interesting but under-explained new case), with an… interesting approach to point out homicide robbers in the middle. And then someone seems to have it in for a subgrouping in the police, and policemen are under suspicion. But Konan is very paranoid about Rum, seeing signs of him everywhere, and this is beginning to be repetitious, annoying. 3½ stars, but I’m nice.

A great story (if a slow read), but the passing between the last propter chapter and the epilogue was a bit jarring, too sudden, too much info skipped then retold. I guess the author was in a hurry to finish it near the end.

I loved how the struggles of the “other” side were described!
