thersites Aug 07 2017 1:20 pm Enjoyed this thoroughly. I agree with MacLou below that the characters and the ending can be frustrating, but I think that is what makes everything so convincing and even compelling. There are no grand villains, just a lot of infuriatingly selfish, mean-spirited people. But it's not all doom and gloom - several originally rather unpleasant characters become better people by the end of the series. And I didn't find the ending surprising, mainly because I thought it had been kind of hinted at even in "Nameless Poison".

Yes, the fourth novel in Miyabe Miyuki's Sugimura series "Hope Apartments" was published in 2016. I think it's about Sugimura finally becoming a proper detective like Kitami (the Osugi Ren character that he admired so much), and taking on a case in that capacity. But it seems to have taken around 3 years for "Petero no souretsu" to be subbed in English, so even if they adapt "Hope Apartments" this or next year, we'd be lucky to see it before 2020... :(

Maclou Jun 11 2017 5:45 pm It seems the next novel in the series came out last year so maybe another season really is a possibility.

I really liked this but sometimes I found some of the characters crazy frustrating to the point where I was screaming at the screen :P I also hated the ending, I didn't see it coming and I wasn't happy.

lolsomany Jun 01 2017 2:53 am jay quintana - actually, this is 2nd season/sequel. the 1st season is nameless poison. the ending said to be continued. maybe because the 3rd novel still in developement?

Jay Quintana Apr 13 2016 10:30 pm Really enjoyed this. They said there's going to be a second season. Anyone know for sure?

Jay Quintana Feb 05 2016 12:40 am Just saw episode one. Can't say I immediately took to the series (the fantasy scenes were kinda annoying), but it really came together in the end. I'm hooked.
