The City of Imprisoned Love - Vol. 4 Ch. 35 - “A Solitary Power, Part 1”

@Kampfarsch In this case it's not the mystery that is being withheld, the characters don't know more than the situation than we do, it's how they'll beat her. If we are aware of their plan, then two things can happen: their plan succeed as planned and the impact during the climax is reduced (since we know exactly what they'll do) or more commonly the plan fails and they either improvise the solution (which is kinda hard considering how OP are the opponents) or win by pure chance or external interference (like against the patissiere).

I'm kind of neutral about not knowing the plan, if the author wants them to have a plan of themselves and succeed, it's a compromise to make it happen without removing anything from the climax.

@Xystus "no u" aight
@kazu19 nothing but strong arguments in this bitch

@ddragon the author gave himself a get out of jail free card with this
the characters can do pretty much anything now and pretend like it was planned afterwards

They already have an almost life time supply of out of jail free cards, they are the heroes of the story. Even if the opponent gives a near flawless suprise attack like the Patissier they'll survive, the only thing this chapter is implying that they'll probably do it by themselves instead of being saved by the circumstances (and we don't even know the consequences of the arc, it could still partially work but get one of them killed - which it won't because the manga can't continue without both of them alive in some way).

One of the things I like in this manga is how the main guy and main girl are actually pretty competent, especially as a team, considering how disadvantageous their situation is, so I prefer they actually outsmart the opponents like with the detective (that followed the same formula that this one is doing, including the hidden plan) than getting saved like with the Patissier (by a mechanism that was already shown before but it needed Ai saving them anyway).
