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 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)
