There aren't any comments asking about Hori's first line on the last page of this chapter, and I don't know what she means. "It would be nice if it was 'because it's here,' Miyamura." What is she talking about?

Tooru's last line on page 19 is the same as his first line on page 20. I'm 99% sure this must have been a mistake, and the line on 20 should have been different, but I can't figure out what it might have been...

The sign on the David statue on page 12 is the type of thing that really, really needs a translator's note in the margins. It's pretty lazy to not do that. In case anyone else was also curious about what it said, I pulled up the page on my computer and had my phone do a Google Lens translation...

I assumed it was just a typo when they said "verandah" instead of "veranda" a few chapters ago, but I guess it's intentional. I've never seen it with an H before. I looked it up and apparently it's an accepted alternate spelling, just very uncommon, pretty antiquated, only used in specific...

Page 22: "with this, it's already three people" is a very suspicious comment considering there were only two victims at that time...

Wait, what's this about the fish from the tournament being in the refrigerator and getting destroyed? Unless I missed something, hasn't the tournament not even started yet? Everyone got here last night, they woke up at 4 AM to start fishing, they didn't go fishing because of the murder. Why is...

I can't be the only guy who thinks that dude's mask looks like a blooper from Mario 😂

He said it's "a medical practitioner specializing in anti-aging medicine." This is basically accurate. You could argue that one doesn't necessarily have to be a medical practitioner, but many different sources across the internet disagree on this point, so there doesn't appear to be a definitive...

Page 17, panel 1: "that doll was a special doll, which my mom for a lot." I literally do not know what he's supposed to be saying here. His mom paid a lot for it? She cared about it a lot? In either situation, why would the dad then not want to get it back?

Page 19, panel 3: wow, that is one of the most literally unbelievable things that's ever happened in this series. Not only is it virtually impossible to land upright when jumping from any appreciable distance, her legs and hips just magically mush into a fine red paste? Get real.

Pages 11 and 12 - I think it's pretty clear that she didn't stab her mom, just that she pulled the knife out of where her mom had stabbed herself with it. With that in mind, the giant "STAB" sound effect on page 12 is seriously misleading. It makes it look like she stabbed her mom! It should...

Page 9: Police: "What is your relationship to the victim? What is the reason for your visit here?" Page 10: Lawyer: "That question was rather hurting my privacy!" Ignoring the clunky phrasing of the guy's statement, if I can say something in my capacity as a layman, is this guy an idiot or just...

Page 4: No idea what "gansekis" are in this context. "Ganseki" is JP for "rock," but it's odd to call two (subjectively) unattractive girls "rocks," isn't it? Is this some slang term? "Uggos" might have been a more apt term in this translation. Page 16: If Bleach taught me one thing, it's to...

This case had a particularly depressing end to it, didn't it? In a lot of the cases, some little bit of info comes to light during the winding up of things, which often gives the murderer a glimmer of hope and possible future redemption and healing. And/or Kindaichi offers some words of...

Page 16: That's a gross oversimplification of anaphylactic shock. I'm not sure whether to blame the scanlators, or the original dialogue, lol.
