"Parallel" as in parallel universe shenanigans? An alt-universe mystery is something you can expect from this series.

There are some pretty minor and forgettable stories or experimental ones that didn't entirely work for me, but nothing really bad springs to mind right now.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-24518999094890959362023-04-01T08:02:48.932+02:002023-04-01T08:02:48.932+02:00I quite liked "Another World".

Though vol 29 might contain my personal favorite math-related story. The next volume also contain "Parallel", which is also memorable for me. In the fanbook, "Crime and Punishment" is also one of Katou's favorite story.

If my memory serves me right, I'm pretty sure that Volume 26 has two really good stories, and is a definite high point (for me), so I hope that you enjoy it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
