Story so far – Based on a manga by Nami Sano, this mystery-thriller series follows orphaned identical twins, Migi and Dali, who pretend to be one child called Hitori to their adoptive parents Sonoyama Osamu and Sonoyama Youko. Migi and Dali take turns to play Sonoyama Hitori, while they try to find out their biological mother’s murderer in Origon village. The twins decide Eiji Ichijo is the culprit but invite more danger into their lives by meddling with the Ichijo family.
“This is the story of Metry, that is, the story of the devil” – Reiko Ichijo.
As thunder and lightning crackle over the Ichijo mansion, the evil Reiko finally decides to reveal what happened in the past with her maid Metry, who is the deceased mother of twins Migi and Dali. Episode 11 of “Migi to Dali” starts off like a gothic horror show, and considering how creepy and twisted Reiko’s character has proven to be so far, she is the perfect malevolent antagonist for the series.
So far, viewers have only gotten to see Metry in sad flashback scenes where brother Migi and Dali remember her. Her character design is a lot like the brothers and even the animators make her personality comically similar to her sons – from facial expressions to demeanor. Although, Metry is a lot more like Migi, she seems simple, goofy and sweet, which makes her backstory all the more tragically dark.
The big secret that Micchan died without being able tell in episode 9 of “Migi to Dali” is finally revealed, which leaves the twins shocked. The nemesis, Eiji, is the first to realize the truth and aptly exclaims, “This family is messed up,” which is honestly putting things mildly. Episode 11 is packed with lots of twists, and the events are dramatized by melancholy music in the background. You are left wondering how things will finally unfold for the twins. Additionally, there is a post-credit scene at the end, so be sure to watch it; it has the biggest cliffhanger yet.
You can watch “Migi to Dali” on Crunchyroll.
