Associate Professor Akira Takatsuki's Conjecture, Vol. 5 by Mikage Sawamura, Toji Aio
5.0
This volume concludes the Curse of 4:44 from Volume 4. There are also another 2 cases here, though they actually appear to be interconnected.
Case 1: a mermaid sighting
Case 2: the night of 100 horrors
We get to see Akira and Naoya investigate a potential mermaid sighting and get the FIRST real real supernatural entity of the series! So far, there have been small incidents and coincidences that appear to be supernatural but are never proven and we don't get to see it. Here, we get both!
We also get to see Uncle Wataru, who Akira stayed with in London due his recovery period, after being "spirited away". We also get quite a lot of exploration of Akira's personal life, thanks to Wataru showing up.
There's a bit more of Nanba, who is a great friend to Naoya, even if he denies it. For the first, he actually lies to Naoya, but its in the sweetest way and I love that Naoya understands why he did it instantly. The more I see of Nanba, the more I love him.
I really loved the new character Sae-san. She's is SO interesting.
