Finished this part.

Most of the chapter was spent on some 鬼ごっこ during class

finally finding time to catch up, this week’s chapter was alright; I was thinking that maybe a bit too much time spent on playing tag, but I also feel like in a way it’s adding to the suspense of the story. I am pretty on edge in terms of expecting the other shoe to drop and the longer each chapter drags it out the more suspenseful it’s getting.

A bit of speculation, spoilering just in case: I was thinking that the ケンタ―クン was for sure just a dead body before they actually got to it, so when the flashbacks to the newspaper article came I was a bit excited. The planting of suspicion around the murders in the previous chapter and the payoff there was some genuinely great writing.
