Yay"I'm sorry I lied about the first murder, and admit to doing drugs to cover my back afterward. However, I'm not lying this time. Please believe me, I'm a victim." Honestly, if anyone had doubted he killed Kotori-san, he just destroyed his only defense. Also, admitting to one murder while standing on for a second one...not a good idea. After all, who honestly who's walk into a courtroom and not be biased when the perpetrator allegedly commits the same crime and simultaneously admits to the first case. Even if Nobara switched places, he successfully committed murder to begin with for tree first trial, and therefore must stand trial again for a second murder. Not double jeopardy :)
Most importantly, THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE!!
I really enjoyed this manga. It actually reminds me of another manga, though I don't recall the name. Anyway, this is one of my favorites because it's a bitter sweet story, and it just really connects to me. We get to share the happiness, fear, and sorrow of the characters. Definitely in my top five!
I can't help but feel this will be another story that will take years to complete. One chapter release every few months... I don't mind if the quality doesn't diminish and the story isn't rushed, but that tends to be what happens with series like this. I'm a bit concerned...
