Associate Professor Akira Takatsuki's Conjecture (Manga), Vol. 2 by Mikage Sawamura
3.5
I am ngl but I didn't think there would be much to cover because there couldn't be much to folklore and superstitious stories.. but I am being proven wrong as the stories do explore and explain the layers and reasons to why they are being told and how their relevancy changes with time.
It's quite interesting and I'm so interested in the backstory of takatsuki!

I picked this series up from the library because it had two men on the cover and I had a feeling it was gonna be a queer baity haha
I was intrigued by the premise, but it took a while for me to get into it and the characters are promising!

4.5
The mystery kept getting better with each volume! I loved the stories covered in this volume and I was trying to be one step ahead of the plot but I failed xD
Nevertheless I am excited, not only because of how they might end up solving the case but I particularly love how the explanation given my Takatsuki regarding the folklore/superstitions relating to the story! It says a lot about how we view them as people and it's beautifully human.
I am not one to believe in God's or demons but I do get that some people cannot fathom the unknown and leaving stuff up to science such as the creation of universe and big bang is too coincidental. Heck, I believe we are too lucky to have had so many coincidences align that we get to live on this planet.
I enjoyed this volume!!

Entangled life is undoubtedly my favorite book for 2024 and I have much to say and I don't know where to start!
I believe Merlin Sheldrake gives us an excellent look into how he views fungus and the many parallels that we share with them throughout the book. It's filled with a lot of facts that makes me want to reflect on for a long time
