Chapter 102: Abandoned Village

>廃村 haison: Ghost town, deserted village, village without inhabitants.
>Hotori then replies Hai, son desu instead of Hai, sou desu.
>So it's not that she's making fun of Kon, it's just an incredibly lame pun.

>This one really is delivery and delicacy. Once in a while, they really do line up.

>冗談 joudan: Joke
>Sounds a lot like Jordan.

This is still the same chapter, I'll explain at the end.

oh youre posting a double? Thanks

A real mystery adventure. These three make an amazing group of detectives and assistants. I could read a whole manga of them just exploring mysteries.
This chapter was originally released as 3 chapters but was compiled into a single chapter for the volume release. There are a few more chapters that do this. Crunchyroll decided to keep the magazine chapter numbers so now there's a lot of "missing" chapters that aren't really missing on most manga sites.
And now the final ghost story from the Soremachi Ghost Drama CD

Her editor is really cute. Those duck lips are pretty sexy. She's striking the Arawi pose again.
Looks like Shizuka has two detective assistants.

Best chapter so far. Kon is a miracle.

>>280745986
NOT THE BEEEEEEESSSSSSS

>>280745630
God Kon is so fucking cute.

>>280745742
Shizuka nee-san seems a little lesbian coded...

>>280754370
Kon would be so much fun to spoil. Her inherent childishness and spoilt nature (probably from being doted on by her parents) is really well developed within her outward attempt to seem edgy, mature and cool. The scene in the car in particular, where clearly she isn't used to being addressed as an equal among adults whereas most teens her age would be just fine with that.

>>280746377
Thanks for the extra-long chapter today, anon.

>>280746055
lmao like a cat

>>280661790
>She's just pressuring him, that's very clear. She does not care about the other kid at all
I half expect the other boy to be made up entirely, it's VERY obvious what she was doing, and then also why she was visibly annoyed afterwards.

>>280745787
Incredibly erotic second panel

>>280759000
It's an inversion of the usual Hotori vs. any other character dynamic. She is a pretty good older sister too though.

He clearly had a ton of fun drawing Kon this chapter.

>>280759000
I think if you read the manga in chronological order you would see Hotori growing up all the time. It's part of the vibe.

I have a lot I want to say about Hotori and Shizuka's relationship but it's best to wait for the epilogue, I guess. But you can see that Hotori might already be outpacing Shizuka's perception of her in this chapter, and also that Shizuka might not be as clever a she thinks she is/that she might be underrating Hotori too.

I don't mean this in a negative way. But Hotori literally is growing up in front of us, all of the characters are, and it also takes a while for other characters in the manga to realise that.

>>280745575
>poster fell
>statue tipped over
>cat dead
Hotori's jokes are potent

>>280745607
Kon is correct on both counts.

>>280745616
>but it is exam season
>Kon failed to get into her first choice school
Hotori, what have you done

>>280745728
This is what heaven looks like.

>>280760088
D-does this mean Tatsuno and Kon don't get along?

>>280760233
They're not the closest friends.

>>280745915
>onee-san
Kon definitely didn't remember Shizuka's name. She's just saying this because that's what Hotori calls her.

So sad Shizuka molested these schoolgirls and was jailed for life. I used to enjoy her books.

>>280746211
>>280757929
She likes picking up sticks. She's like a kid.

>Mathematical Proof Confirms Long-Held Suspicion: Kon is cute

>>280745548
I still feel like that editor(?) if Shizuka looks very much like that woman from Takahara academy in Tengoku Daimakyou. You know the one, the one that got confessed to by musclehead.

>>280745854
>but she's never seen any ghosts or had any otherworldly experiences
gleeby deeby ayylmao duende space alien encounters don't count if you don't remember them

>>280762814
It's kinda contingent on a later chapter so I don't want to spoil it, but I think it's clumsy of Shizuka to not think twice about using Kon + Hotori for writing material at the same time as she's trying to keep her writing career a secret from Hotori. She's been careful to try and keep clues from Hotori in other ways, but if Hotori reads her books that's definitely something she could recognize.

>>280746377

Is that the future candy from some chapters back?

>>280745490 (OP)
She's kinda cute with short hair, but I still like her better with long hair.

>>280763862
Do we even know what she wrote in her books? She might only use one or two elements from their trip. I don't think she's that careless about her writings, knowing that Hotori would read them later on.

>>280772475
Her hair after Sanada fiasco looks best imo. Side mini ponytail was too childish.

>>280783473
Looks like Ebisu here

>>280780883
..I'm getting mixed vibes from the chapter, do people actually bring stuff that'll likely ruin the pot, or is it more along the lines of "unusual but could be tasty"?

>>280780883
Jumbo shrimp.

The fact that she’s a secret fujoshi disgusts yet arouses me.

>>280797825
Powerful

>>280794698
I think it's most likely that people would bring in a lot of ingredients that don't mesh well but not in a malicious way. Arai brought something that would be intentionally bad.

>>280784029
You will take this Tatsuno and you will like it. You all need to love the Tats.

i hate the random timeline chapter gimmick

>>280799246
Absolutely insane. The achronological timeline is one of the most impressive things about this manga.

Cute haribara

>>280809010
What did Haribara mean by this?

>>280818015
Hotori and Kon aren't /u/

>>280818066
The relationship between a detective and her assistant goes further than love.

>>280808948
>>280808955
It's interesting that Kon was never actually particularly defensive, it was just she was withdrawn and her senpai took pleasure in monopolising her attention/access to her. Kon is totally willing to just chat to Haribara there.

>>280808928
Dark haired Kon just feels wrong but Tatsuno looks better that way.

>>280808955
Tats, you fucking fujo. She's even shipping real people now.

>>280808997
I love this visual metaphor. Hotori is used to taking so many biting words since she grew up with gran and Shizuka. Kon's defenses are nothing in comparison.

>>280818713
Anon.... she's just too dumb to notice Kon's defenses

>>280809010
This chapter goes from cute to tragic once you recognize the name. We've heard it before in volume 9.

>>280818755
Haribara said that Kon probably got more difficult to talk to because her friend graduated so she doesn't know the real story here. Kon closed her self off because of her trauma.

I want a Haribara and Kon chapter now. I want to see what kind of friendship these two have now.

>>280818784
>>280818755
Wait, did she fucking betray her?

>>280819460
Even in this chapter you can see she has a pretty jealous, inauthentic friendship. She treated Kon more like a pet than a friend.

>>280818746
Hotori is legitimately very smart.

What if Kon and Hotori kissed?
*sprinkles salt over your mouth*

>>280822495
Tatsuno in a China dress when?

>>280808765
Detroit Ping Pong City?!

>>280808918
I would be in absolute awe at how sex Kon is here too.

>>280818015
Hotori is ugly, probably the ugliest in her grade
Maybe even the whole school if we consider the open nature of clubs

Episode 100

"Abandoned village"

Recently, I received an award at the Japan Media Arts Festival,

I did what I liked as a reward to myself. Actually, I've always drawn what I liked, but "Abandoned Village" was a three-part series when it was published in a magazine.

The default style is one episode, but this time it's a celebration.

I had to put up with it.

The main reason why Kon-senpai says "I'm not compatible with B-type girls" is that Zasanari is actually B-type, as revealed in the character encyclopedia in this book.

Tatsun is type B and Kameido is type B. Whether he knows it or not, Kon-senpai is certainly hostile towards type B women...

What's quite astute about Kon-senpai is that he insists that Kameido is doing something behind the scenes. I don't think he has any solid evidence, but I think it's just a hunch. He's no good at deductions, but he does have a strong sixth sense. Like precognitive dreams.

Do you know the ghost story of "Kunekune"?

There is a scene where Kon-senpai witnesses the "Kunekune"

It's easier to understand.

This is basic information for fans of the occult, so if you're interested, please look it up on the internet.

P94 There is a ghost in the bush in the third panel. Or rather, I tried to do the simulacra phenomenon in a manga where the photo of the bush looks like a face.

I thought it might be scary because of the subliminal effect.

I don't drink alcohol or carbonated drinks, but in order to realistically depict the scene where Shizu-neechan drinks beer, I tried drinking carbonated water when I was dry after waking up, and got a feel for it. Since then, I've been able to drink carbonated water.

Kon-senpai is picking up a branch again... He's carrying it around, holding it up or whatever.

Anyway, this story is like a festival for "Soremachi," so I hope you'll enjoy the sleepovers, hot springs, and scary adventures together.

>>280780883
That could slightly complicate things for me
Episode 16

"Disappearance in the Dark"

Although the subtitle sounds like a mystery, it is actually a story about a hot pot. It is no exaggeration to say that I wrote this to sound a warning against the public's image of a hot pot that contains elements of a punishment game.

If you actually made this potluck, it shouldn't end up being something inedible.

Of course, blueberry jam should not be added. Kobu-daira was treated as if it never happened, and it was a happy ending.

>>280809029
Episode 10

"Dark Table Tennis Girl"

This is Kon-senpai's storyline.

When the person in charge read the name of this episode, he said, "What's wrong?

"Is that so? It's a good story."

I was smiling to myself. Actually, my face was smiling.

I may have laughed out loud.

I'm starting to feel that way.

This is a story that will give you chills and change the enjoyment of reading it once you realize something.

If you don't understand, please re-read volume 9, "The Walking Bird."

Still, it is a beautiful memory for Harihara-san.

The Hyahaha at the beginning is a girl. She has a beard. Her names are "Death Mountain" and "Killzaki."

An editor from another publishing company gave me a table tennis racket with a chain.

I remember he really liked it and said "I want this." What is it for...?

The woman in Chinese clothing on the front cover is named "Dragon Zakura."

>>280808883
it's an Albany expression

>>280829464
Kon has the instincts of a wild animal, like a cat.

Honestly, I like how they didn't make her the prettiest conventionally speaking, but very cute in her own way. I love how Ishiguro is more restrained in this regard, making so many different faces with simple linework. I tend to prefer this approach in manga/comics over super dense drawings like Murata or Miura.

I want to bully YOU

Despite being a manga, she manages to be really loud. She makes a lot of big movements. She's fun.

>>280838849
Double pigtail Tatsuno is cute.
I like that she just rolls with Hotori's shenanigans now.

>>280838979
It's funny how Tatsuno's comment about just asking someone from the old club was actually the solution.

Episode 100

"Cursed Video"

This is the Fukuzawa series about an uninvited assistant. It's a story about a mysterious image being brought to Ayutori. The "OBK" on the T-shirt on the front cover is OBAKE. Maybe it's because of Ayutori's face that people think "OBK is stupid"

I have been asked this question several times.

It was before the summer of the third year, and Ayutori's detective work was starting to look good.

I'm here. I'm thinking about it, researching, listening, and going to see it.

The client is also very satisfied.

Actually, I think this was pretty well solved.

If you look closely at Ayutori's notebook on page 190, you can see that it contains notes about the plot of the "Epilogue of Chapter 898," such as "Tatsuno marries Sanada and gets fat."

"Someone who seems knowledgeable about the occult is not in Japan at the crucial time" refers to Kon-senpai, who is traveling in England during this period, but this is misleading the reader into thinking "Maybe Kon-senpai is not in Japan after graduation?"

In the staff room scene on page 198, you can see Mr. Serizawa listening to the conversation between Ayutori and Moriaki in the foreground, but there is a female teacher listening in even further back. I'm sure you wise readers can guess who it is.

By the way, there is one plot thread that remains unresolved, so I would like to take this opportunity to explain it.

The hand reaching out from the well in the video is that of Mr. Serizawa.

I don't remember taking any photos at the time. The well is just a pile of blocks on the ground, so there is no physical space for a person to hide or reach out.

What on earth is this hand...?

This chapter is the closest Hotori has gotten to being a real novel detective. Thanks anon.

Her antennae is iconic but I wish there was more Hotori art with short hair.

Maybe not for solving cases.

Hotori is a genius who can solve any case.
