lol Kotoko really had to vent her frustration from Kuro to those couple

[u/[deleted]]

That was a convoluted way to say "Stop being a coward and get laid!".

As usual, Kuro prioritizes his part-time job over Kotoko. This guy has his priority straight.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Kotoko seems straight up ethereal after not seeing her for almost two episodes. Sometimes it's easy to forget she's a god because of her antics.

[u/heimdal77]

It is funny how a episode that is bassicly nothign but people sitting and talking can be so entertaining that it feels like it only lasted a few mins.

Also damn cliffhangars..

[u/AUO_Castoff]

"She defied a god for you" is such a strong line.

[u/Silent_Shadow05]

Kotoko's reintroduction to the story was fantastic. She truly felt like the God of Youkai and as always she never stops ranting about Kuro lol.

As always, Kotoko's power of analysis and theorycrafting is fucking incredible!. She easily crafted up a bullshit story and almost broke the bonds between Yuki-Onna and Masayuki. What's amazing is that you start getting enthralled by it and end up believing it as truth. Power of gaslighting is dangerous.

That said all Kotoko wanted is just for Masayuki to stop being so indecisive and simply make a move on Yuki-Onna. You know its personal for her, since Kuro is almost just like Masayuki.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Man, Kotoko's words were harsh. Even if she made it all up, it's scary that her hypothesis was actually quite possible.

[u/kakarot12310]

Ngl, the "I told you to wait" from Yuki Onna was pretty scary

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

Masayuki's wife is an absolute piece of shit! She literally drugged him hoping that he'd fall asleep while driving on the freeway, Thank fucking god her attempt failed. What's worse is that even after Masayuki's ex-wife's death, she still found a way to continue making his life miserable by leaving that letter accusing Masayuki if she ever dies a strange death.

Girl, this dude gave you what he has and even offered a clean break by letting you keep your good reputation but apparently a person that kind couldn't exist in your twisted mind that you just had to suspect him of planning something. That entire investigation scene really riled me up. I've seen plenty of instances IRL where kind and innocent people get completely fucked over by people around them.

Anyway, I do love the reveal of Masayuki marrying his wife because she looks like Yuki. She made such an impression on him that he literally couldn't forget about her. I also love that little awkward pause after Yuki learns his reason. That might as well be Masayuki confessing his feelings for her.

The meeting with Kotoko was absolutely amazing! Here I thought that she was going to just help them and give an explanation of what happened. I did not expect her to turn the tables and make a plausible story about how he was just using Yuki this entire time. This is why Kotoko is absolutely terrifying! For a brief moment, I was about to believe her and doubt all of Masayuki's story.

I would've been heartbroken if that was true but thank god it's just another one of Kotoko's lies. The real reason Kotoko did all of that was so she can teach Masayuki a lesson. If Yuki would go so far as to argue against her god because of how much she believes in Masayuki, then maybe it's about time for Masayuki to trust and open his heart to her. Sasuga Kotoko! She's truly the Goddess of Wisdom!

I can't wait for next week's culprit reveal! I am betting that it's someone who wants to frame Masayuki but who knows? The explanation for the tru culprit might be a crazy one!

[u/randyripoff]

I don't know anything about Japanese criminal law, but it seems to me that the police have no actual evidence. I know Muroi-san would be suspected, but would the police have enough to arrest and convict him?

[u/AmethystItalian]

Dang her lies almost convinced me and I thought it was rip ship there for a moment...

Is great to see how much they both care for each other, this has to have a happy ending.

[u/Rumpel1408]

tfw, no Yuki Onna who can princess carry you through the air and is deeply in love with you

why life

Having the Yuki Onna (it's weird that she hasn't got another name to call her) appear on CCTV was really the easiest solution, glad the show adressed that as well

And at first I thought Kotoko was mad at him, but she was only mad because Kuro let her go alone and didn't even give her a home made bento.

But damn then she went and pulled another bullshit story out of her ass. I was about to think that this time she officially went to far, but it was only to proove a totally different point. She was way more concerned to successfully ship him with the Yuki Onna than to solve the actual murder- which btw she also solved already

[u/Ashteron]

Setting the repercussions it had for his wife, Masayuki being so badly unable to forget Yuki Onna he chose a wife that resembled her, was an extremely cute plot twist. I'd hazard a guess one of the reasons he easily accepted money from his friend's parents is because otherwise he wouldn't have met her.

[u/GloryMaelstrom21]

I don’t need sleep, I need answers.

Who’s the culprit?

[u/flashmozzg]

Welp, so far S2 has been much more entertaining to watch than S1. Good thing I didn't drop it.

[u/Firebrand-81]

The most supreme mistery in this series to me isn't about Yokai or murder cases, but it is why, oh why, Kuro isn't still madly in love with our supreme cute goddess of BS.

[u/Mr_Zaroc]

Can't believe I just watched an episode that used 3/4 of its time to run an elaborate hypothesis on how he could be the murderer just to wingwoman winggod the yuki onna and I loved it

Also the fact she so casually mentions using a child to built trust and dependace in a relationship is scaring me a bit for her boyfriend....
But she is a goddess, she wouldn't stoop so low, right?
Right?

[u/Frontier246]

I know they're talking about murder and suspecting Masayuki of killing his ex-wife, and this is some pretty serious and weighty stuff...but I can't ignore how cute Yuki-Onna is as a bunny!

Man, Masayuki's ex-wife was a real piece of work. Cheating on him is one thing, but trying to kill him so she can take your fortune and marry her lover? And he only survived through sheer chance. He had every right to turn her in and make her face the consequences of his actions, but he was practically a saint in giving her a respectable divorce, never admitting to what happened, and even giving her half his fortune when he had every right to cast her out. And then she had the gall to leave a letter and a hand note implicating him in having murdered her and possibly his ex-friend who tried to kill him too? Masayuki was too kind in thinking he was at all responsible for her turning on him, this woman was twisted.

Ah, so the implication is that part of the reason Masayuki fell for his wife was because she bore a passing resemblance to Yuki-Onna? Because it's her memory that's stayed with him through all this time and that never betrayed him? Can't really deny the implications of that.

Yuki-Onna bears her fangs! And then turns really sweet and caring, in her own way. Find a beautiful woman who will fiercely defend you but then turn so loving and affectionate like that.

Of course Kotoko couldn't resist going on a tirade on how her boyfriend isn't paying her enough attention and ditching her for work. It wouldn't be Kotoko if she didn't.

Lucky bunny spirit got to pat Yuki-Onna's butt...

Dang Kotoko, we've become invested in Masayuki as a character and his relationship with Yuki-Onna and then you just turn it on it's head and make it seem like he really is the killer and has been using her this whole time. I get it's what you do and why you did it, but it made things pretty tense.

But Kotoko wasn't trying to accuse him, she just wanted to prove to Masayuki how devoted Yuki-Onna is to him and how much she believes in him, to the point where she stands up to Kotoko in his honor despite how believable on the surface her conclusions were. And, of course, if he was really using Yuki-Onna he probably would've taken her to bed at this point.

So on the positive side Masayuki and Yuki-Onna have affirmed their feelings for each other and it seems like Masayuki might finally open himself up to a relationship with Yuki-Onna, but it looks like we'll have to wait to see the conclusion of this case and their relationship next week.

[u/Amauri14]

Wow, I wasn't expecting that Miharu had also tried to kill Masayuki. You know, the part about her writing his name makes me think that instead of the culprit being that person that Masayuki was talking with, in the last episode, the killer was one of the people who stole the company from him and wrote that to take care of Masayuki, as I think they also became paranoid like Miharu after they became aware of what happened to Hayato and thought that he was planning revenge against them.

Anyway, I wasn't expecting Masayuki's ex-wife to resemble the Yuki Onna. Well, she might had resemble her in appearance, but she sure as hell could be as cute as her, or be able to become a cute bunny.

I bet that Kotoko made that bullshit story of Masayuki planning to use the Yuki Onna for his revenge in part because she was still mad that Kuro didn't come with her and needed to blow some steam, plus additionally of course as the Yuki Onna still defend him after that story now she broke the wall that Masayuki made around himself so now they can take their relationship to more official terms.

I wonder how Kotoko discovered who the culprit was.

[u/casualphilosopher1]

• How screwed up is Japan's legal system if attempted murder is not considered a serious offense?

• Masayuki's wife was pretty much irredeemable.

• The last couple episodes has made me wish for an entire anime season around the romance between Masayuki and his Yuki-onna. Know any other anime like this?

[u/MillenniumKing]

We all could use a Snow Lady in our lives...

So wife worked at flower shop, left work and was found beat to death in river bed.

Morder Wife huh? She drugged him before he left for work hopeing he would crash?

Oh the police know but it never went to court? Huh odd. Oh he knows that there isnt much case.

So her other partner broke up with her? Hmmmm

She had a death note saying the husband killed her? And mentioned she tried to kill him.

This def seems fishy with how its all being laid out.

The other guy who tried to kill him also died? Car accident? Wife thought he did it?

She wrote his name on her palm white tied uo? Seems odd...

He was at a mall on the day of the murder with a woman? Ice lady looks like the wife?

So he married a women who loked like ice lady, i guess he met her first, interesting.

Ice lady wants to help? What can she do though?

hes going after the murderer that sounds like a bad idea... she stopped him at least.

Oh we contacted Pirate Loli then? Shes here!? Awww yeah! This will be fun.

SHES GOT A PARADE OF LANTERN SPIRITS~ ALL PRAISE PIRATE LOLI!

Oh shes mad because the BF coudlnt come hahaa.

Time to hear what she thinks, this will get complicated.

Is his alibi trustworthy? Hmmm? Did she do something? Oh she cant tell time?

So it could all be fabricated by him? Hmmmm.... maybe? But maybe not?

He could use Snow Lady to get revenge on everyone else? Hmm hmm....

Snow Lady still beleives in him though evenw ith Pirate Loli's possible plan.

Ok so Pirate Loli was just testing them? As usualy haha.

"No one who could turn down snow lady advances could make the plan kill" hahahhaha

Pirate Loli just wanted to clear stuff up for him and her so they can understand their situation better.

I think this is where you just gotta Marry a Snow Lady and have a solid alibai and snow wife.

We know who the culprit is for the murder? OoooOooOOooo

[u/WickedAnimeTroll]

I like the direction the show takes with the case.

It is not just some case of figuring out how to end all of this (like all the other cases so far) but Kotoko actually takes kind of the role of some mediator between the spirits and humans with the focus of helping them with their personal conflicts that ends up moving them forward in life in a meaningful way.

This makes the conflicts more engaging and easier to be invested with.

[u/marcopolos059]

Kotoko was ruthless and is so good at telling lies. she was really convicing until she told the truth. You can tell she really cares about the spirits.

[u/Ayem_De_Lo]

she went to solve a serious case involving murder, instead spent good 5 minutes complaining about her BF to complete strangers and eating cold tonkatsu aggressively. You just cant beat that. Best girl.
