I loved this one, I think it's my favorite so far!!! I didn't think I would be as obsessed as I am with little Ranpo's beginnings with Fukuzawa, but it was so good. And I can't even be mad at bringing up by Oda sadness again just for how good the story was (Oda's curry *crying*). This light novel really made me love Ranpo even more with seeing how difficult it was for him being literally the smartest in the room, he just felt like nobody understood him!! And I loved seeing how strong the bond between Ranpo and Fukuzawa is. Ok, but the ending made me wonder, how on earth did Fukuzawa figure out he was a skill user, and how did he figure out how to use it? Isn't his skill literally enhancing other people's skills? I'm sure this has been answered but it just got me wondering. This book is my fav so far!! Now onto 55 minutes.

Really, it's just a super fun read. It's more lighthearted than BSD canon tends to be, offers some spectacular insight into characters and character relationships (most notably Ranpo & Fukuzawa), and has an appropriate amount of emotionally devastating moments sprinkled throughout (as expected of Asagiri).

A pesar de ya conocer la historia me entretuvo y me hizo comprender mejor a Odasaku y su filosofía de vida que intentó pasar a Dazai. Con mucha acción para mi gusto pero interesantes momentos, como la "singularidad" al tener Guide y Oda la misma habilidad y quedar suspendidos en el tiempo.
