This one was my favourite so far! I really liked getting out of the palace to Mao Mao’s home, getting more depth and understanding for her stony loner lifestyle. Jinshi’s behaviour in this manga was SO thirsty, he’s gonna need to chill. 

I feel super invested in the plot of this series so far - and the “who done it?” style with various weekly/monthly solvable (or not) cases are fun ways to build lore and relationships while we build that underlying story. Can’t wait to see where this goes to be honest.
