I guess that Kindaichi Shounen is struggling more than Conan in regards to an aging fan population, so I can understand the experiment in setting the new series a few years later with an adult Hajime and Miyuki, but there are so many ways they can take this, I really have to see it before I can say anything about it.<br /><br />The original Doumoto Tsuyoshi live-action drama had a few funny sketches with an adult Hajime though :DHo-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-65324628689346384772017-10-10T08:48:48.844+02:002017-10-10T08:48:48.844+02:00Super Danganronpa 2.

The mystery plots are much better paced and structured compared to the first game (information flow is better controlled), and there's an uncanny laughing mirror relation with the first game, especially back when it was first released and nobody knew much about how those two games were connected.

Thanks for the recommendation of ノッキンオン・ロックドドア - I'm not especially fond of short stories, but you make them sound quite appealing.<br /><br />Looking forward to the completion of the instalment of 金田一二三誘拐殺人事件, and your review of it - hope it's good!

It's a short story collection about two private detectives who share an office: one of them is a specialist in impossible mysteries, the other in incomprehensible mysteries. Very Queen-esque in execution.<br /><br />I didn't double-check with the manga when I wrote the review, so for some reason I thought it was the Fumi Kidnapping Case, not the Kidnapping /Murder/ Case, but yeah, you're right, it's a murder case. And that definitely reminds of the Hayami Reika case. This new Fumi kidnapping case is quite different from the short story with the similar title though; Fumi was only kidnapped there because she just happened to see the face of the bank robber and he needed to get rid of his witness, while in this story, it is clear the culprit planned the kidnapping in detail (again, reminsicent of the Hayami Reika case). <br /><br />Which reminds me, there weren't any real kidnapping cases in Tantei Gakuen Q... That series was a lot more diverse than Kindaichi Shounen in general, but funny they didn't do a grand kidnapping case too.Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-85638353239010592182017-10-07T14:53:05.649+02:002017-10-07T14:53:05.649+02:00Thanks for letting me know, as I wasn't aware ...Thanks for letting me know, as I wasn't aware that 'Gymnasium Murder' had been translated, and is about to be released! I need to get my hands on a copy - it's very exciting! But I first need to forget those wretched spoilers I gleaned from the movie I mentioned to you. As of now, I can still remember certain mechanics as to how the locked room was constructed. :( <br /><br />It seems like there's already another book by Aosaki Yuugo available on the Chinese market: it seems to be called, 'Knocking on the door of a locked room'. Have you read it? <br /><br />Going back to Kindaichi, I seem to recall an attempted kidnapping of Fumi in one of the earlier short stories: 金田一フミ誘拐事件? But the title of this current instalment, 金田一二三誘拐殺人事件, suggests that there will be murders implicated in the kidnapping, It would be interesting to see if this instalment will bear any similarities to 速水玲香誘拐殺人事件, as well as ゲームの館殺人事件.

It's a shame that the solutions to some of the more interesting puzzles in this instalment might be somewhat easy or obvious - then again, my standards are probably lower than yours, and my acumen blunter than yours. I agree that there were one or two scenes in the White Serpernt Winery Murders that made the culprit/s stick out, but I thought there were still one or two good central ideas/ twists. <br /><br />Looks like I should save either 'Siren Isle Murders' or 'Doll Island Serial Killings' for the last, as a treat...
