The Moonstone and Cipher cases were pretty engaging, but I’m starting to get frustrated with how the story handles reveals. I really dislike it when revelations are dropped only to have the narrative immediately jump to a new case as if nothing happened. This formula is starting to wear thin for me. 

I think I have a decent idea of who Ms. Wakasa is based on clues from previous volumes, but I’m still uncertain about where and when Conan/Shinichi and Ran met Sera and her family years ago. I’m hoping this was shown in earlier volumes, but if it’s something that supposedly happened off-page in the past, that would be disappointing. 

… And who exactly is this Momiji Ooka? Is Aoyama trying to create a love triangle here? Please, no! We already have so many characters in the series that need more attention and development. Introducing new ones for romantic subplots just feels unnecessary at this point.
