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

Unfortunately not as absurd as you'd think. C-sections cost the hospitals more than natural births. So hospitals working within a profit-driven medical system are incentivized to put budget over safety. Sometimes to the detriment of patients.

It's Japan tho. IIRC the government will give you lump sum of money for every childbirth. Parents can use that money as they see fit. So money shouldn't be a problem.

Worked in a mother and child hospital for 5 years—the moment breech baby is recognized, if you don't want the ethical board breathing down the hospital's neck for malpractice suits and other possible repercussions, I think most of our doctors would've recommended a C-section too. That said, our hospital management really drilled this sort of thing down to virtually all the staff, and different hospitals have very different management styles, so.

The only way they could really sort of get away with this would be if the doctors and nurses don't leave any paper trail whatsoever that they discovered a breech baby, which tracks with Kurihara's idea that a hospital insider would've been her murderer.

Kurihara being kind of creepy as usual, he's really grown on me somehow lol
the reveal here was actually unsettling... Thanks for the chapter!
Speculation: Yuki's crime is that she worked at the hospital in the past and murdered a baby?
doesn't explain what's up with the mysterious third person in the house though....

Not in a place where i can write anything weel thought out but seeing that we got close was super cool. Also, cool that there may have been an actual crime, more room to theorize.

Additionally, it looks like my info gathering skipped a bunch of steps on things i didnt even consider, as well as missed clues for other possibly greater scope mysteries. RIP

that "answer" just created more questions

I was hoping it was more bittersweet, though. Like with the house one, where it turned out the boy really was a good kid who loved his little brother.

Well, his little brother is technically his first cousin once removed, given Ayano is his first cousin, but she and Keita did adopt him yeah.

As for the crime, there is kinda the obvious foreshadowing that Yuki is the girl that is under the psychiatrist's care in chapter 1. The girl who killed her own mother and drew that picture of a house and jagged tree. Perhaps that is the crime that is talked about here, or perhaps Yuki commits some other crime. Fortunately Hen na E has 4 cases inside the 1 book so each case is pretty much quite short.

Was thinking "this feels very similar to the architecture mystery manga" and would you look at that, it's by the same guy

 

[EchoGirl]

Thanks!

I wonder why the husband would bother with resizing the images in the first place versus the wife scanning it or just an older blog back in the day limiting the 'image resolution'/bit size or whatever

(tho i wonder how many ppl would layer traditional art versus digital)

i wonder if he'll run into the current husband/kid. would be too 'convenient' but this is a story

Very similar title too lol

I wonder how many 'hen na/strange' titles they'll come up with

makes sense for american health care but i'd assume in JP it wouldn't cost as much
if not taxed but nothing that'd put you into debt/charge like 1k just for the ambulance ride

• 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 here)" seems to be Uketsu's (the author) whole schtick even outside of his novels/manga. They produce videos, short stories, interviews, dioramas, how-to tutorials about strange hobbies, sculptures, creatures, dolls, packages in the mail, things found in marketplaces... Some of this stuff are like mini-mysteries, others seem to be more comedic/satirical in nature, most are just, well, strange. This is their website: https://uketsu.jp/. Uh... make of it what you will.
