I should've asked TLanon for the 3D cover page version of the last volume. Oh well, let's try this again.Summary of the last three issues, followed by the current one:>Volume 1: "The father of high school girl Katsuragi Yako was murdered. It was a brutal murder in a locked room. This mysterious incident throws Yako's daily life into chaos... As the investigation makes no progress, a man calling himself Nougami Neuro appears before the grieving Yako. He says, "I want to solve the ultimate mystery...!!"">Volume 2: "Taking over a suspicious agency (?), Neuro and Yako have opened the "Underworld Detective Agency"! Their first customer was Aya Asia, a mysterious diva with enthusiastic fans all over the world! What was the nature of her request...?">Volume 3: "The Underworld Detective Agency is still going strong today, with the addition of a secretary and a handyman! While they are searching for the kind of "mystery" that Neuro likes, the hair-raising "Red Box" incident occurs! Who is the culprit known as "X" who kidnaps people and changes them into a certain state...?">Volume 4: "A series of random bombings have occurred! What is the purpose of the perpetrator "Hysteria" who continues to carry out bombings by any means possible, betraying the predictions of Inspector Usui, who sees Neuro and Yako as his enemies? Neuro reads the message from the perpetrator hidden in the crime card!"
Chapter 26 time!
cuuuuubes
>>269225503>I'm not wearing this>wears itTsundere or its just Neuro forcing it on her
>>269225805Obviously Neuro threatened her with a loving demon-world massage that would rearrange her spine if she refused.
Chapter 26 over.
Chapter 27 time.
>>269226114Huh, the u is a little forced but not bad, Matsui. If it was a snake it would have bit me.
>>269226460Neuro swinging Yako like a club here was one of his normal attacks in Jump Ultimate Stars
>>269226679>Guy with dead eyes and odd hair is great at gambling[ざわ… INTENSIFIES]
>>269226460Yakobros...
>>269226771Poor Jun
ENTER
>>269226926That shit looks like it's right out of a horror movie, but I guess that's just regular business for Neuro
Chapter 27 over.One of these four women is the serial bomber Histerrier. Who is it and why did she do it? Give us your answer! (Wrong answers only.)
>>269227040The baby did it
>>269226771so heroic and sad :(
>>269227040The hag with hat could be a crossdresser
>>269227040Hmm, this is a tough one. A student holding a bag is commonplace and makes bomb movement easy but a seemingly bumbling gaijin would make for the perfect disguise/out.
>>269226633She gives some hard head, yes
Chapter 28 time.
>>269226633If only Jump Force didn't had that "action manga only" arbitrary rule, Neuro might've made it.Then again, it has Yugi and Light (NPC) in it for some reason. That game is also absolutely shit so Neuro might've dodged a bullet
>>269227397>"action manga only"I thought it was a more "manga westerners like only" type of deal. But yes he did dodge a bullet, Koro-sensei as well.
>>269227548I remember reading that they explicitly said romcoms and the likes are not taken into consideration in an interview or something. So no TLRs or Shokugekis.
And the culprit is...!
My favourite thing about this is Neuro's eyes
>>269227770Title Obtained: Accidental Pervert
Oh no, she's a furry.
>>269226074>including the name 'WcDonald's' as an actual plot pointImpressive
>>269227904This is just unintentionally (?) hilarious
>>269228017Huh, I wasn't expecting kitsunetsuki of all things but it is weirdly fitting for a woman who feels locked into her own life.
Chapter 28 over.
>>269227427>Kaku Ayumi>Hide and CompromiseMOTHERFUCKER IT WAS RIGHT THERE
>>269228251Try looking at the names of the other culprits, too.

>>269229007Hot
>>269229568Wow, what a cunt
>>269229568Welp, that is the peak of BRUH moments
>>269230003Fucking Gyaru Henshin
Chapter 30 over.We'll be taking a short break so you can digest the revelations of this one, and continue after about an hour or so.And what about you? Are you someone hiding your true self from the world, or are you the type to reveal it in inappropriate moments?
>>269230151Thanks, OP.I'd say I am pretty good at hiding myself back when I'm still studying, but as I grow older my temper outbursts is getting harder to control.
>>269230151There's hobbies I don't talk about with my IRL circles but plenty of friends know about. It's all about finding your personal "pressure valve" and knowing when and where to decompress.
>>269230151I hide many things from /a/, yes.
>>269230151Thanks OP It feels like I'm lying to everyone I know all the time
>>269228084>She accidentally used the wrong face for the babylmao
>>269228048Man I really do love this manga, the traumatized baby is great. So many little things.
Chapter 31 time.

Yako what are you doing.Yako, no, stop.Yako, don't do this! Don't do this Yako! You don't understand what awaits you!
>>269231777The biggest mystery in this manga is her staying fit despite being such a glutton
777 Underworld Abilities #777, the most evil of all:D :
>>269232023Can't beat the Bishounen Pout, even on a goblin like Neuro
>>269232054Neuro is absolutely not a goblin.
>>269232023He really is a shoujo character
>>269232023Neuro's most frightening expression in the series. If he aims it towards you, you're fucked.
A second appearance of #777, and so soon after the first!||D :||
>>269232185There's something worse, actually.
>>269231918I think she canon has insane metabolism
How intentional do you think Neuro being like a shojo character is, considering that he's a horrible monster?
>>269232270100%. The man is Clamp proportions played straight in a mostly regular artstyle.
>>269232213It's always a little horrifying to remember that these people are literally being held hostage by a demon
>>269232270>How intentional do you think Neuro being like a shojo character is, considering that he's a horrible monster?Just like most shoujo then, except that most of the time they aren't literal monster. Mostly.
>>269232303Oh, we're finally at this case.
>>269232234It's been too long since I've last read this, can't remember what's worse than that
Chapter 31 over.
Would you eat an ostrich egg?
>>269232333sly little ENTER
>>269232555I bet it tastes good, yeah
>>269232555She's so cute when indulging in her passion
>>269232555I ate an ostrich egg omelette once on a trip with my family, and it tastes like your usual egg.
>>269232695You think that's cute? Well take a look at this!
>>269232780Yako's stomach is a pit to hell and god we love her for it.
>>269232780I want to cook her up a feast
>>269232864Weeaboo
>>269232834Ypu will go broke trying to feed her unless you are a billionaire
Ceiling Neuro IS watching you sleep!So he can smash you with his elbow.: D
>>269233033BAH GAWD THE PEOPLE'S ELBOW
Was it worthy, /a/? Was it worthy Yako suffering through the last 32 chapters just for a glimpse of this?Yes. Yes it was.
...maybe not worth this, though.
Chapter 32 over.
>>269233118very shojo
>>269233118I swear that's a SaGa boss.
>>269233033>ywn feed Yako all she can eat, and then elbow drop her in bed.

>>269234528I've been waiting for it.
>>269234825Is it really unnatural not to have a pen and paper in your purse? I guess the weakness of the actual mystery writing might be showing here
>>269235021ENTER
>>269235021Kino
>>269235021LolLmao
>>269235021Iconic!
Chapter 34 - and volume 4 - over.Now, this IS the part where I say I'll be back tomorrow to continue, but I can't help but notice that the last three threads managed to last about a day or so. I did finish volume 1 in the first thread anyway, but still. Now I'm the one with a question in mind.Do you guys want me to post the next volume tomorrow on this thread, or I open a new thread like I've been doing so far and post only volume 5 there?
>>269235107Thanks OP That was one of the funniest sequence of pages I've ever read in a manga. And I'm pretty easy about which thread, but I suppose doing it in a new one is probably a good idea if the amount of replies ends up being over 300 or so
>>269235021>>269235054>>269235107OH, SAY CAN YOU SEE
>>269235107You should always start a new volume with a new thread.
>>269235107>I open a new thread like I've been doing so far and post only volume 5 there?This one
>>269235107Nice cliffhanger, shits hilariousThanks for posting, OP.

Pic related was drawn by Matsui in 2007
>>269235107I think new threads are the way to go. You'd hit the post limit trying to put two volumes in a thread and it'd probably cut off discussion of the second one since the thread would be archived
>>269235021I get the guns and hamburgers, but where does the stereotype of the large nose come from? This comes up in other series as well.
>>269225329I can post the full cover for this volume at least. Didn't want to interrupt with it while you were posting, but here it is now. I'm not sure if anyone is trying to figure out the 3D shape though.
>>269235292I've got the whole page that came from
>>269235370It’s probably just because a lot of japs have flat noses or something
>>269235428Excellent>>269235370The stereotype actually goes wayyy backhttps://altjapan.typepad.com/my_weblog/2014/01/japans-nose-obsession.html
>>269235423Was the one for volume 3 posted in the last thread?
>>269234741This was pretty clever.
>>269235532It was not, so here that is. If anyone cares to try to guess what the 3D shapes are, I'll post the solutions later too. I've never been able to see them by crossing my eyes, though. I use photoshop to decipher them like a cheater
>>269235511Ah, that explains things.
>>269235613The first two weren't hard at all, but for 3 and 4 I can get it to work but I'm not really sure what I'm looking at
Other fun fact (if I'm remembering correctly), apparently Yako having a pouch next to her pillow made people speculate that Matsui had a girlfriend because it's a very specific detail to includeMany years later, the speculations ended up being correct because Matsui casually confirmed he has a wife in an Elusive Samurai comment
>>269232023Was this in the anime?
>>269235734Some of the shapes are more complex than others for sure. But it's typically something related to the content of the volume in question, so you can sort of use the manga itself as a hint
>>269235947Almost none of the (good) jokes were in the anime, it was a tragic excuse for an adaptation
>>269235992I wish Neuro can get a good re-adaptation since we are now in yet another remake era.
>>269236279Soon, brother
Just remembered that before I'd bought the bunko editions I got some of the regular ones too, whatever I'd find on a shopping trip to kinokuniya, 10 total. So I've dug them out to check out the back but they're shiny and reflecting the light dammit.
>>269235613Volume 3 Solutionthe relevant text in pic related says:The answer is...A box.Want to try opening it?
>>269236619So simple but I keep seeing pointy parts on it that shouldn't be there
>>269235423Volume 4 Solutiontext says: The answer is...A hot spring symbol.Benefits: Mental abrasion, disappointment, addiction to sumiso.
>>269236705When I "solve" it digitally I just get the cube, so I wonder if the pattern for this one is just really distracting or something
>>269236908Think that I'm not seeing the outer edge on the left properly because of the pale coloring so that arrow looks like it's jutting out beyond it
>>269236529What's the difference between the 'bunko' and the 'regular' ones?
>>269238065When manga is being published it's often released in tankobon format, which consolidates 9 or so manga chapters into a single book volume.If it's still popular years later sometimes it gets rereleased in bunkoban format, which use slightly smaller paper but each volume contains 2 tankobons worth of content. For this reason I think bunkoban are called "omnibus" in EnglishIf you wanna know more than that, both terms have wikipedia pages you can look up pretty easily
Oh volume 3 is when scans get bad. Why didn't V3 onwards get proper scans?
>>269228752Even the baby is starting to rebel
>>269238227They will eventually. The "good" scans just started this year and the conversion is ongoing
>>269238065Not my image but the bunkos are these babies here. They're smaller in height than the regular ones but thicker. for instance vol1 covers 1-15 and vol 2 is 16-31, twelve volumes total while the originals are 23 volumes long . Good quality paper with very nice black ink. Also came with a different Neuro themed postcard in each one(though one of them I had to order off amazon had it missing...)
>>269238227A big reason why this happens, I think, is the fact that most series on the internet have 'speed scans', AKA translations made as fast as possible, which are usually made with the original magazine scans in some way. Back in the 2000s, these often were from non-digital sources and thus the visuals tended to look worse [as seen from how some parts are way darker or the details are not as correct]. They were also not always from volume releases, which tend to be full monochrome and such.Because of the focus on doing it fast and first, people don't tend to revisit projects even after several years, if only because the translations are usually good enough for people to understand. Even if they're kind of garbage like here.
>>269235021>>269235107Could this guy kill Sai with his American gun?
>>269239667Keep reading and you will in fact eventually learn how effective guns are against Sai (not this particular gun tho)
>>269234741Amerimutts are menace to this world
>>269235021>>269235054Kino.>>269235107How the fuck did David got passed the airport inspecting?David Rice is one of my favourite Neuro lesser villain
>>269240129Hid it up his nose
Is there no official English release?
>>269241145There isn't and likely never will be one at this point
>>269235107Thank you for posting.
See you in the next thread.
>Taking unholy long time between pages>Multiple breaks between chapters>The fucking shitty youtuber trend of asking a question at the end of the dump to bait people to respond and bump the thread (completely unnecessary too because this is a reasonably popular dump)>Didn't put the volume number in the title>Didn't put links to the previous threads in the OP, so if you want to catch up you need to bother going through the archives>Pointing out the chapters beginning and end as if anyone gives a shitDumping is truly a lost art on /a/. You'd think this would be the easiest thing but turn out it isn't. You're lucky I like Neuro so much, OP.
>>269244412>fair>fair>fun and I enjoy talking to my fellow readers>fair>fair>fuck offIn conclusion, even though most of your points are fair, you're a faggot
Why was this page so erotic
>>269225538I forget was Neuro actually the demon emperor or just a generic demon lord?
>>269244831I don't think it's ever stated outright so it's open to interpretation really. It is obvious he's at least very powerful and probably high-ranking, but that's all we get.
>>269244831He's a high-ranking demon according to the only other demon in the manga, but not the Emperor, as he refers to him as someone else.
>>269244477Don't defend him anon, otherwise he'll never learn
