Hoo boy. I thought about this a while back and I still don't know if I'm anywhere near the answer, so take the following with a heap of salt. Konno Takeshi's name in Japanese is 今野武司, "Nanashino Ren's" name is 七篠レン. The only connection I could make is that the "take" 武 in Takeshi sounds like...

This is a quick timeline of events where the dates (or at least years) are confirmed in some way. 1992 - Miura murdered 1995 - Iwata investigates murder 2007 - Yuki/Takeshi marry 2009 - Yuki gives birth to Yuuta, Yuki dies 2010 - Granny's last (or second-last) visit to Yuki's grave 2012 -...

Ah, so there were differences between the novel and the manga for Strange Houses. I read comments that contradicted each other on that. Might have a read once I have some spare time and compare the two.

Hot granny comments aside (sorry, I still simp for Kurihara), I just wanted to throw out some thoughts I have about the mysteries shown so far, and I'm pretty sure these don't spoil the events of the next volume. Granny is the mysterious "third person" mentioned in the first volume. I wonder...

Some notes for this upload: So ends vol 2. Next volume will have a whole new MC, but a couple familiar faces will show up. Again, bravo to those who predicted the twist, I think some even back in vol 1. It's interesting enough the grandma didn't go for a family grave to bury both Takeshi and...

I'm in a position where I have a "duty to report", and yes, relevant authorities (including police and/or child protective services) would be contacted (either by yourself or by your administrator) regardless of whether the parent/guardian has already done so. All pertinent info goes to the...

Some notes for this upload: Several readers predicted the twists from this chapter - nicely done! "I know you beat your kid because he scribbled over a triangle." That's, uh, one hell of a leap of logic. Yuuta's drawing in the title page for this chapter creeps me right out. I'm pretty sure...

Just wanted to point out a detail some might have missed. The building manager was surprised her son was a little kid.

As stated above, each story is self-contained in the sense that they focus on different drawings, characters, and events. But, as the synopsis says, "When the mystery is solved, all the incidents will be connected," meaning the different stories interconnect in some way. Having read the three...

Kurihara explained why the pictures are different sizes. The husband didn't deliberately resize the images, he used his phone to take closeup shots of the smaller pictures, and took long shots of the bigger pictures, making all the pictures appear roughly the same size. "Strange (random thing...

Some notes for this upload: That concludes vol 1. Each volume, or at least the first three volumes, feature different MCs and different "strange pictures." I guess this last chapter was to introduce vol 2's MC. The way I understand Hen Na E so far, each volume is its own self-contained story...

To those who called it (back in ch. 1, even), bravo!

"Yuki and Ren were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me." "Baby looked at you? Sasaki, get me Kurihara!" beep beep beep "Thank you, Sasaki."

I wouldn't call this IRL but Ren's blog can be accessed here: https://nanashinoren.blog.jp/

It's called Kuzushiji. Here's a short write-up if you're curious: https://naruhodo.weebly.com/blog/introduction-to-kuzushiji Basically it's handwritten kanji that fell out of use, I think around the early 1900s. From what I understand, nowadays most Japanese people would struggle to read it. But...
