definitely the most complex mystery so far, and I loved getting the perspective of all 4 protagonists!!! one thing I noticed is that the dialogue and language used in these books actually… *sound* like what a teenager would say?? no metaphors and no quirky language because oh-i-am-not-like-the-other-girls and it’s so refreshing compared to most western YA.

I also desperately need to rewatch this arc on the anime because ngl I was a bit lost at times lmao (although kyoani included some new scenes that weren’t in the book, surprisingly)

i still cant believe that Hyouka single handedly made me read again and honestly this series has become a sort of comfort place for me these past weeks <3 onto book 4, i guess?
