Totomaru Isshiki is beginning to get famous! Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions Episode 10 begins with a journalist coming around Totomaru’s office, requesting that she do a feature piece on him since he solved quite a few complicated cases with lighting speed. Though flattered, Toto gets completely anxious over being interviewed since he cannot reveal it was his genius partner Ron Kamonohashi who has been solving all his murder cases.
For plot overview, read – Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions Episode 1 Review
After the dark and tense Observatory murder case episodes, the anime series returns to a more comical and bright tone, reflected in both mood and animation settings. Titled “The Case of the Poisoned Latte” episode 10 of Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions is also a little random, because Ron out of nowhere is suddenly working at a cafe as a barista. At this point, one begins to wonder if he is stalking Toto, because Toto and the journalist walk into the same place for their interview. The journalist’s name, amusingly enough, is Chicory Monki – chicory is a popular ingredient used to flavor coffee. Makes one wonder if Chicory was written specifically for this one episode or will become a recurring character.
“The Case of the Poisoned Latte” is a quick filler-like episode, featuring an easy murder case involving three friends visiting a cafe. Ron and Toto miraculously happen to be at the crime scene as always; the duo is like murder magnets in this show. Chicori adds some more comic relief to the proceedings with her awe for the clueless Toto, whom she thinks is a super-cool detective capable of deducing at super-speed.
You can stream “Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions” on Netflix.
