Tsumi to Batsu no Spica - Vol. 1 Ch. 4 - The Last Job (1)

Many people thought the manga was axed after the last chapter because the title was 'The Last Job,' but it's more likely referring to the detective's last job rather than the series ending.

 

[Deathmage20]

if she ends up working with detectives broken that the law lets these criminals get away as almost a vigilante type stories, it should be really interesting

 

[JackdawMinuet]

Ah, our angel of death. Let justice be done, and yes I would love a coffee.

 

[nxneil13]

my theory is that the AP was the one who killed them but the asshole husband doesn't even know

 

[Jebsu]

Get em justice Wargrave, get em!

 

[amuqz17]

Go for it Spica 👊

hell yes

 

[Bobbyyyyy]

With how unpredictable the last few chapters were, I'm not even going to TRY guessing the culprit

 

[AnotherRat]

Heh, I think I'll keep reading. Idk where the story is going but she's too cute to drop this manga!

 

[jaaaace]

Check out Malice Afterthought and Suffocatingly Lonely Death by the author (more seinen while Spica feels more shounen) and the artist has a cool one shot too.

Spica feels like a fresh but natural step forward for the mangakas

Yall are stupid, it wasn't gonna get axed. Seems like the culprit is deceivingly easy to find out.

So happy that the last chapter’s end words seem to be more about the detective’s or culprit’s. Although I am kinda curious about the main conflict of this manga. Looking at the authors’ previous manga there will be a lot of unpredictable things

It might not have the same connotations in Japanese, but the trope of "just one last job" generally ends with the detective/agent in question dying. I wonder if Spica is touching detectives to find out about murder suspects, or because she suspects the detectives themselves.

I assume its going to be relatively episodic, an anthology of various serious crime cases where the only common denominator is Spica.

That certainly sounds more interesting and complex, I struggle to believe it will be a simple resolution to the case.

She hates police but she might work with the this ex-cop

 

[Renan_Walheim]

Aw shiet here we go again.

 

[Gustbk]

Maybe she’ll be the last missing piece for him to solve this case…by kinda cheating.

Although the Lie Detector part felt pretty silly, is it admissible in Japanese court?

I'm just dropping in real quick here to remind everyone that polygraph tests are complete bullshit popularized by a guy who used them to shill razor blades and who is better known as the creator of Wonder Woman. Even the 80% accuracy figure given in this chapter is a massive overstatement of their efficacy trotted out by defenders of the polygraph, seemingly without recognizing that, even if this figure were true, a 1 in 5 chance of a catastrophic fuck-up is actually quite bad.

Oh, and I dig Spica's work hairstyle. Way to rock those braids, protagonist-chan.
