This is the episode featuring Rikuo as an ordinary human that I’ve liked the most so far. It was truly creative how it blended investigation with hide-and-seek. Highly entertaining. But something terrible is happening.

Kiyotsugu ini antara pemberani atau memang nggak punya sense of danger 😂 Obsesinya sama yokai nggak main-main, sampai rumah Rikuo pun menarik buat dia selidiki. Kehadiran Yura juga bikin dinamika kelompoknya terasa lebih rame. Episode ini lebih ringan dibanding sebelumnya dan komedinya lumayan dapet, terutama lihat Rikuo yang kayaknya nggak pernah bisa benar-benar tenang 😭

Not liking the new character introduced, and the pacing just got a little fast with that. The sudden visit and the bossy, inspector-like behavior of the new addition were mixed into the plot, adding spice. Well, the plot has become much more intriguing now, but how it was paced was a little too fast, particularly that pest incident, too. Great seeing Nattou have a moment here, and how the yokais act were just comical.

Episode Context

Episode 3 shifts the focus squarely into school-life territory with the introduction of Yura Keikain, a transfer student who immediately disrupts the status quo. The tone leans lighter here compared to the supernatural tension of earlier episodes, playing up comedic classroom dynamics as Kiyotsugu's obsession with the paranormal reaches its logical conclusion: the formation of the Kiyojuji Paranormal Patrol. But underneath the humor, there's a deliberate tension, Yura isn't just another student, and the episode makes sure you feel that. Her knowledge of yōkai carries weight, and her presence near Rikuo adds a layer of dramatic irony for anyone tracking his dual-heritage struggle. Expect a character-building episode that prioritizes setup over action, with supernatural intrigue simmering just beneath the surface of everyday school antics.
