wooden kokeshi dolls?”
the inspiration for Mii esthetic 😂
To tell the truth, I was a little disturbed by this revelation.
a little?!
I’d have to remember to call him Detective Kaga now.
I want translation notes!! what honorifics is he using?
I should write the story of how my friend was killed.
ohhh this is screaming "unreliable narrator" to me
After all, they’d only been married a month.
wondered why Kaga wanted to go to that restaurant.
obviously to check your alibi lol
the office-door handle
inside or outside handle?
If the murder wasn’t premeditated, why come in through the window?
I had this exact thought about a minute ago 😂
At present, we know of two people: Miyako Fujio and Osamu Nonoguchi.
plus the neighbor lady in the garden. could she have overheard the conversation about her cat?
“The relationship between teacher and student is based on illusion. The teacher is under the illusion that he is teaching something, and the student is under the illusion that he is being taught. What’s important is that this shared illusion makes both teacher and student happy. Nothing good is gained by facing the truth, after all. All we’re doing is playing at education.”
The investigation team then obtained copies of every printed work of Kunihiko Hidaka’s, divided them up, and read them.
how do I get this job?? 😂
make up a plausible one and I’ll write my confession however you please.”

😂😂
Okinawa?”
very southern island (tourism and US military bases)
I had spent years noticing every time bullying was mentioned in the news. Mostly because the guilt over my own failure hadn’t ever left me.
bullying of students or teachers?
It’s not a big stretch to think that Kunihiko Hidaka had caught on to the relationship and was forcing Nonoguchi to write for him in exchange for his silence. But that wouldn’t explain why Nonoguchi continued to write for Hidaka even after Hatsumi’s death.
A possible scenario occurred to me at once, but it was so outlandish, I hesitated to voice it without further evidence.
he was going to commit murder or suicide and frame Nonoguchi?? he was blackmailing him with the knife??
Then a lone figure appeared on-screen.
oooooh this is dramatic
I’m working under the assumption that this will be the last full piece I write. You might call it my final opus.
comic books.
manga?
See, the problem kids liked getting us regular students involved. If you resisted, you’d be the next one on the chopping block, so you kind of had to go along with ’em. It felt terrible.
I don’t think Hidaka got bullied much, and Nonoguchi definitely didn’t.
😂totally different stories from students vs teacher
