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.

The utter incongruity of a scanlation team using extremely clunky sentences in English, with frequent mistakes and weird phrasings, but also correctly using quite an obscure word, cortege, instead of just saying funeral procession, is... doing weird things to my head.

Wait, hold up - Moegi knew the vice-principal personally? When she was in high school? It said she was 19 now, I think. But in chapter 4 of this case (chapter 15 on MD), Kubiki said he died 30 years ago. More than 30, really, since it was 30 years ago his body was found, and it was mummified at...

Page 6: wait, I'm confused by the premise here. In panel 4, he says that they found gold on the island and became prosperous. This logically means they were selling the gold so that it was no longer on the island. Then he says the gold ran out, meaning there was no more gold to be found. Then in...

Last night, after finishing reading this case, I had some fridge logic set in: Why did the newspapers report that the girl committed suicide? This chapter makes it clear she wasn't considering suicide by her prior actions, but then goes on to show that she died in a skiing accident. So where...

I'm not sure if this is just a case of translation weirdness, but in English, it's extremely unlikely that a person would yell "stay away from me" when they found their house was flooding with water. =P

I doubt he's literally a professional, in the sense that someone pays him to flame people online, but ignoring that for a second: I don't understand why people get a perverse sense of enjoyment out of flaming in the first place, but this guy knows that he drove several people to suicide and...

I kinda like "Tree Wrecker" as an alternate name for Woodpecker.

What's all this "ninben" stuff about? I'm all for leaving certain terms in the original language (as long as they're Romanized) but at least add a translation note. I have no idea what that's referring to now, and Google translate comes up with nothing either.

This chapter incorrectly uses the spelling "retched" instead of "wretched." They're both words, but they have different meanings. I was thinking about this, and realized something odd: the former is one syllable and the latter two. English is weird.

Page 3... uh, is dermatology really considered an internal medicine? Last I checked, your skin was on the outside of your body.

Pretty major mistake on page 15 - he says "Noguchi" when he means Kunitachi. He's talking to Noguchi.

The font size in this chapter is much too small compared to the space available in each speech bubble. It looks like everyone is whispering. This is a rookie mistake, and it's weird coming from Lively Scans, which is (was?) a really good group.

Even if this is true, you're forgetting to take region into account. In 2005, 67% of the population of Japan were using the internet.

Series being passed from group to group is pretty common, don't worry about it too much. The only actual problem with the group changing again as of this chapter is the font they chose to use for the dialogue speech bubbles (the thought bubbles font is great). The font was a bad choice, it's...
