June 19, 2018這集的第二話「無限迴廊」討論了伏見稻荷神社的傳說；而「破裂的面具」則藉由十一面觀音菩薩詮釋了人與梵天的關係。這集值得一看。

Case Studies of Professor Munakata (宗像教授異考録)
This is the sequel series to The Legendary Musings of Professor Munakata. It continues his journey into the origins of folklore around the world, with an emphasis on iron and the culture that sprouted around its use and solving mysteries along the way.
A quick comparison between the two series would be to consider the first series a more scholarly approach to the latter, while the second series is more focused on the adventures, maintaining the respect to the folktales that inspired the character of Professor Munakata.
In this series, the author maintained a tighter circle of supporting characters, and fleshing them out with their own arcs in the series. Even the professor had developed some sexual tension with his main foil, the Zanbe woman. If the professor was a Sherlock Holmes analogue, then she was his Irene Adler.
The first series was also more restrained than this second series. The Case Studies really had a bent for adventure and it jumped the shark in its last arc. (See The Great British Museum Adventure)
