This is a big OOF.... Looks like the author couldn't quite recreate the success from We Never Learn. Here I was avoiding this manga because I had some hope that it'll get an anime adaptation somewhere down the line... So much for that plan

This really bummed me out. It wasn't an in-depth or serious mystery manga but I thought it did a decent job of mixing mystery + Harem Romcom and providing a really cozy read with a likeable cast, a bunch of Best Girls, and entertaining stories.
I wish they had let 22i cook more before ending it so soon and having to force him to rush the ending. I feel like if they had let it go longer it could have really been something special.
I know the volume sales weren't high but I hope this still gets released in the West in print because I will immediately preorder.

It's actually a solid and fun series!

OOF is right. The series for the most part was fine as a romantic comedy/mystery of the week manga, but those last 8 or so chapters were rough. You could feel axe falling down on the chopping block as Syd Craft unexpectedly started sprinting to the end tying up all the loose ends that it could.

I'm sad to see this go; it was really fun and I enjoyed seeing the foreshadowing in each chapter for the mysteries. Plus the girls were really cute.
