Not bad, but I didn't find it that appealing and the fact it's also quite a lengthy series makes it harder to 'just dive in'.<br /><br />And I've been looking for the Yakumo series lately, actually, because I developed an interest in folklore... Will probably pop up eventually on this blog! Same with Nanase (which has been on my list ever since it was released in the States, but somehow I never get around to it).<br /><br />Thanks for the title drops!Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-38689368124820417722014-03-04T06:18:36.643+01:002014-03-04T06:18:36.643+01:00you'v gone through so many mystery manga, and ...you'v gone through so many mystery manga, and so i'm going to recommend you:<br />Q.E.D. 証明終了、ミステリー民俗学者 八雲樹、火災調査官ナナセ<br /><br />--SIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-65654066054026616762011-08-25T16:50:27.677+02:002011-08-25T16:50:27.677+02:00For some reason that lasts one sounds interesting....For some reason that lasts one sounds interesting...

One of the characters confessed she didn't like horses, because she "<i>once saw a horse kill a clown</i>." The scene then cuts to a short flashback of her as a child during a birthday party where a man in a horse costume is beating up a clown. ;DTomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-27783565154210827402011-08-21T18:45:35.615+02:002011-08-21T18:45:35.615+02:00I only read the first volume of Himitsu Tantei Hol...I only read the first volume of <i>Himitsu Tantei Holmes</i> (the German version actually) and it's pretty much like the first couple of volumes of <i>Detective Conan</i>. Which isn't strange actually, as the series ran in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoroCoro_Comic" rel="nofollow"><i>CoroCoro</i></a>, aimed at an even younger public than <i>Shounen Sunday</i><br /><br />As I hate puppets and Sakon and Ukon (who is, in fact, a doll) were the only interesting characters in the series, I have to say that I really don't like <i>Ayatsuri Sakon</i>. Well, except for maybe the art-design. Obata's art is still crude, but at least better than the plot! <br /><br />The only acceptable 'dolls' by my standards: the dead body-dummy (<i> Shoujo Tantei Kaneda Hajime no Jikenbo</i>) and the sock-puppet from <i>The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service</i>.Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-88096193314122320202011-08-21T16:53:00.981+02:002011-08-21T16:53:00.981+02:00I've always wondered, are the Secret Police Ho...I've always wondered, are the <i>Secret Police Holmes</i> stories any good? It impresses me as a classic mysteries for dummies type of series, i.e. something to brainwash and convert young readers with. And with brainwashing I mean, of course, introducing them in a fun and informative way to the literary universes of John Dickson Carr, Seishi Yokomizo, Ellery Queen and Edogawa Rampo. <br /><br />You have to give that <i>Ayatsuri Sakon</i> props on two points: at least the stories were, sort of, original with interesting characters and settings. Yes, these positive attributes were rendered completely useless by the mind numbing stupid plots that featured killers who labored under the assumption that dropping a key through an air shaft is a nifty trick to create a locked room illusion with. But I really liked the idea of a ventriloquist detective with a puppet for a Watson and settings were often fascinating.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.com
