*ADORKABLE HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
While this episode is clearly setting up for the BIGGER mystery and case to be solved next episode, I will not shy away from gushing about Ranpo and his adorableness...and Fukuzawa LITERALLY creating a "monster" of his own, in handing Ranpo the glasses. Fuku-chan may have instant regrets on that one, but I'm so happy to see that he brought "color" into Ranpo's life!
Now, for the next episode to see where this shady character and Natsume...

**HEADPHONE WARNING**
This short series of mini-episodes, compiled into one OVA, and its one-volume Manwha have been recommended on this channel for a LONG time! And now...I can see why!
For an OVA with this much spice, it packs just as much sugar, as we see two high school acquaintances who reunite years later and chase after the spark igniting between them -- a perfectly quick romp for any BL fan!

**NERVOUS LAUGH HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Last episode, we were left on a cliffhanger of what would happen to Dieter and would Tenma get answers about the 511 Kinderhiem orphanage. The answers are YES and SOMEWHAT this episode, but hoo boy, does this episode get dark and twisted! And we're barely into this series, so I know it's only going to get worse...right?
Parallels with Tenma and Johan continue, as does the theme of light vs. dark and humanity vs. that of a "monster" in this epis...

**DIGGING HEADHPONE WARNINGS**
OH, oh this series is getting INTERESTING! Makoto Edamura ups his ante to get ahead of Laurent, but it's digging him deeper and deeper into the con...leaving me to wonder how he's wiggling his way out of this?!
And on top of that, we meet two new characters that I'm on board with and excited to see interact with the crew! This "simple" Los Angeles con is turning out to be anything BUT that!

Hey all! Feliz Jeuves!
The basis of my channel has always been to interact and talk with you all about the series I'm reading or watching! However, I've become VERY hyper-vigilant about spoilers this past year, especially with a growing channel, that I'm very thankful toward!
I don't want ANYONE to feel like they can't comment (unless it's something hateful or inappropriate), but I also don't want to keep nagging at people about spoilers like an old maid, either. *Shakes Wal...

It's a shame we had to wait an extra week for the aftermath of the first cour to get a proper introduction, but this episode made up for it!

Death Note doesn't SEEM like it would be fit for a musical adaptation, until you realize Light Yagami would SO have been a "theater kid!" The singing, acting, and costuming was clever and impressive throughout this production, and now I'm VERY amped to listen to the soundtrack next week!
This SO makes up for the Netflix Adaptation! ^^

Well, just when I think that this series can't access any darker subject matter...
This episode really highlights "appearances can be deceiving" yet again, as we meet Hartmann and Deiter and discover a lot more is politically at play, perhaps, with Johan's past and how he and the Liebert's ended up together in the first place. Tenma sure is leaving a trail behind him, though, isn't he?

Yeah, not making the mistake of leaving Whiteboard-kun out this time!

Our boy Edamura seems so innocent, but as he proves to Laurent, he may just have the grit to make it as a swindler that can keep our blonde on...

And the fate of Masaki gets out, too..."Poplar Ass" indeed, Ren!

Oh, friends, how does MXTX follow up a set of chapters with a terrifying antagonist and doom and gloom upon the horizon?
