SANDA #03 "Charred fruit tastes all the sweeter"
SB/ED: Yoshihara Takuya 吉原拓也

Another gripping episode. SANDA discovering his new ability, the lie detector, will surely prove crucial later on. Fuyumura stays as captivating and unpredictable as ever, you never know what she’ll do or say next when she’s on screen, and I can’t help but like her. Ono’s sudden appearance in class was a shock, revealing she’s alive much sooner than expected. The way Fuyumura laughed and cried at the same time said everything about how relieved she felt. Still, where did Ono run off to and why? Something feels off, and I can’t quite tell what.

The headmaster continues to give off an unnerving aura, and the whole school still feels twisted in all the wrong ways. We also meet Yagiuda, though it’s far from an ideal first impression, and that cliffhanger was just straight up illegal... damn it.
