I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this, given the somewhat low rating. The intricacies of the "mysteries" were sometimes a tad hard to follow, but I think that's probably because Japanese writers tend to imply things rather than explicitly state them. But the characters were well-drawn (figuratively and literally), the translation is well-done, and the side comments are hilarious.
