| It's definitely suspicious that Sumi's murder and the time frame is connected with her father's company. Like seriously, what are the odds...this case just gets deeper into the rabbit hole. Either way, this episode's mystery gets juicer with the origins of the company and Sumi's father. If anything, this may be one of the most complex cases this franchise yet. Killer to be revealed soon! |
 |
| I felt it's going into rather lame direction. Glad Kotoko just blew it all up. Can't wait to see what's her plan. |
| The Sleeping Murder, Part 3. There is a way to solve President Otonashi's murder of his wife Sumi, it's just that because of the ruse of the children all having alibis to prove that they were related to the murder, that this case only gets complex. Kotoko has placed hints all around the case for the children to get to a probable solution, which Rion is the highest possibility to achieve that objectve. Learning that Sumi's drive to the group's expansion and wealth coming off from her father Denjiro, with the way that things would've run, she would be his living puppet all the while. But thanks to the murder, she doesn't need to bother herself with the trivialities of inheritance, leaving the case to have loopholes enough for all of the alibi, murder plans to take hold of the situation, thereby leaving the most minute detail out, that only Rion could solve. The solution? Self-suicide from too much success, and not wanting to disobey Denjiro's orders. Contemplating suicide is a good alternative, but the execution is just as important so as not to link it to tarnish the group's reputation, and to that effect, self-suicide would erase any form of suspicion when everyone has an alibi and getting the police involved into a gruelsome issue. With this answer, it's plausible, but in regards to the inheritance, it's a doozy to split to them all, so it's in accordance to how President Otonashi would suit it. The day of the reveal, and while the answer is correct, the murder plans were mere coincidence in the midst of his own sinful deed. The price to pay for murder: his health and short time to live. But...this is by no means the EXACT end of the case, as Kotoko once again emphasizes their claim that Sumi's murder was an accident...which was NOT the case. By piecing together all of the evidence together, this was clearly a case of murder, and who it is, we'll know in the next episode. A very complex case this is one, and thoroughly just as well constructed. |

| Glad this mini arc is wrapping up. Didn’t really care for it. Hasn’t hit the same since yuuki onna left |
 |
| It seemed like Kurou was exhausted from all the standing, he needed to lay down for a bit but Kotoko came in for help. This was an interesting perspective from Rion's side, she did came with an good answer although it wasn't correct, looks like Sumi only followed orders from the dad and she needed to run the company by herself while the others were planning to end her, Rion thought it was suicide, but that is wrong, when the day came to give the answer to the grandfather, he said its correct and that he wanted to kill her in the first place before they got their chance to do it but Kotoko proved them all wrong, their faces were precious lol, even i was surprised by it. Kotoko is about to reveal the real culprit in the next episode. |
  |
| The case stretches further, but it's interesting. Loved how the old man started sweating the moment Kotoko spoke her mind. |
  |
| Aside from a cute moment with Kuro and Kotoko resting on the king-sized bed while talking about the case in question, this episode was pretty much fully focused on the case itself. With the explanation from her father's side as well as paying attention to the clues Kotoko made during her talk previously, Rion did a good job with her answer to what happened to Sumi-san. It also opened up that Sumi herself was simply following orders that her own father laid out before he died, not only for the business, but also how many kids she would have and what roles they would take. Doing that would bring "happiness" to everyone, but obviously, it turned out to be the opposite. While the answer was received as "correct" to Otonashi, Kotoko then chose this time to intervene with her opinion, which did leave Otonashi sweating profusely. This complex, but interesting case is getting one step closer towards its conclusion now. Not the best of this second season, but it has been an enjoyable one. =) |
| this is so unbelievably boring, i mean i seriously couldn't give less of a crap. this arc sucks and since it has gone on for so long, this show sucks. |
 |
| Still have the Chairman pegged, something about him just feels out of place. |
 |
| Kotoko better reveal that an actual bombshell of truth, because I am gonna be pissed if we really had to sit through that many false explanations when we were given the truth right at the beginning. |
| Oh it still going !? I thought they would've concluded in this episode.... |
| ANOTHER episode for this boring case??? Oh man this season is falling off hard, this is just like s1 where that last case went for too many episodes. Incredibly disappointing. |
 |
| The suicide thesis sounded really possible, so I'm surprised and very interested to know what truly happened |
 |
| Just when I was wondering if one point of this show was about how lies can give an easier life to ppl but at the same time bring some suffering to the lier, like religion could be, here Kotoko comes and slaps me in the face with this end, whao! |

| The assumption sounds really believable, but she had other plans and decided to keep going with the case, he totally didn't expected that. |

Cry harder your opinion is shit. great season cry. your mom falling off from the stairs |
|
| Man I don't know why she always decides to flip the table right after everyone thought it's over. That's the fascinating side of Iwanaga Kotoko though, but sometimes I wish she do it at the beginning instead. Well, we are going to see how Kotoko will reveal the truth so it'll be another interesting ride. |
 |
| The conclusion Rion came to was obvious enough, just as I was thinking that Kotoko snapped. |
 |
| Rion's deduction was interesting but I think one wouldn't die so easily if they stab themself in the chest. In that angle one would most likely end up with a serious wound. That angle wouldn't help you give the right amount of force that will result in your death. You would probably need to stab yourself multiple times to do that. Also, when under mental pressure, I don't think one would be in that state of mind to devise such a lengthy plan just to kill themself. They'll either step in front of a moving car, hang or self-poison themselves. So, Kotoko seems more logical that an intentional accident would make more sense. I'm excited to know what conclusion Kotoko has come up with. Anyway, Kuro standing beside Kotoko like that has been bothering me a lot. he's been standing there for hours like a bodyguard, it's kinda odd considering how Kotoko introduced him as her boyfriend. |
| Would've been boring anyways if they accepted that suicide theory, and also things seem awfully convenient as per the standards of this series. So great, Kotoko threw everything down in the water and will come up with a conclusion down from the zero again. |
 |
| Just when all the parties involved thought it was all figured out, Kotoko reveals it indeed was a murder, not suicide. Oh boy this is getting juicy. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| i thought they would just end with the suicide excuse, but i guess Kotoko decided that there's only 2 episodes left, so we need to drag this a little longer lol anyway, i was thinking about skipping this arc after it's first episode, but it's actually decent |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| Rion came up with an answer. But still, the ending was weak. Seems like the president didn't want his children to know the entire truth about the murder. Kotoko is about to reveal the truth about the murder. |
 |
| Mind bogglingly boring. Man, to think i used to like this show. |
 |
| And here goes her final blow, I knew she would make the president atone for his crime and know that he did wrong at that time. |
 |
| OH Kotoko, here we go.... |
 |
| It's fairly obvious Kaoruko was the killer. The fact she didn't even show up for the discourse surrounding the case already made her the primary suspect, and she has the most significant motive for murdering Sumi as well: avoiding an arranged marriage and getting with her lover. This old fuck shamelessly trying to cover for them because he knows he'll die from his rapidly progressing cancer anyway is just too much of a red herring to be the real suspect. |
