This is getting tiresome. Something fucking up their relationship, Shou throwing a tantrum and Tatsumi having to repair it all. They should either get a break or break up, since we all know it's going to happen eventually.

Well, that was quite a fun episode. Lots of murders going on here. Little information, sadly. If it had not been the next to last episode I probably would not have written anything (just like the beach episode).

I'm glad I was right about the fire, though it was pretty easy to guess considering the huge amount of foreshadowing in the first episode. Still, it would not have been guessable from watching episode 1 only once.

Considering that Akazawa received close to no background this episode, I have no choice but to discount her. There is just no evidence except the hand feeling bullshit, and that's not a piece of evidence, it's either foreshadowing or trolling.

Now let's discuss other things. The crazy bitch claimed that she was with the other Misaki in elementary school and she didn't have an eyepatch, but that the new Misaki has an eye patch, and so it cannot be the same, thus she's dead. Clearly the official answer that we are supposed to come up ourselves is that they're the two sisters and she's just confusing them both. This gives us an undeniable proof that Misaki's sister truly existed. It does not mean, however, that Misaki did not replace her anyway. As I said last week, the curse needs to change facts as well as memory.

There's another thing that annoy me, and it's that no one seem to be aware that Misaki's sister died. Of course, it's possible that the town is too large for that, but with everyone around you dying, you would probably try to investigate a bit about the deaths happening in town. This is not a piece of evidence towards anything, just a thought.

At the end of the episode, we see Misaki climbing up the stairs, as if she had business there. In the preview, we see her going down other stairs with Akazawa. It is clear that Akazawa will pursue her, but it still unknown what Misaki is trying to do up there. That is quite an annoying cliffhanger but I'm pretty sure where she is going is very minor. She might just be going up to go down from somewhere else because damn Akazawa is blocking the way. In any cases, I'm wasting my time on this paragraph.

In the end, both Misaki being dead or Misaki not being dead are still very valid theories, but since there is just so much more stuff on Misaki than there is on anyone else that is not the main character (which has been completely forgotten from the show, I actually very much enjoyed the calls with his father because I trust someone who is not in the city to be telling the truth). My guess for this week is still then on Misaki, and I'm prepared to be wrong. If I'm wrong, then too bad I guess. I at least very much enjoyed trying to figure that one out, and I appreciated this show.

Instead of the mangaka just throwing endless miscommunication/misinterpreted statements or other totally irrational incidents, the characters actually seem...dunno, not quite realistic but feasible? Definitely not following the usual formulaic crap at the least. Example:

Instead of just running/crying/avoiding the situation, the protag finds his balls and decides to actually deal with the situation decisively. No fucking way, I'm kinda sick of the usual formulaic and weak sauce/spineless male leads that I've seen in everything else lately. Also there's a trainwreck vibe to this manga that I haven't gotten since geass >_> Also lol implied sex in the next chapter again. Bets on the cockblock?
