In Volume 10, we took a frenetic tour of an aquarium, watched Hinako eat metric tons of seafood, watched a shark die and met Suiren, a young woman whose father disappeared under mysterious circumstances. In Volume 11 of MURCIÉLAGO (ムルシエラゴ), all of this comes to a completely batty ending in the crypts below this quiet seaside town, where we learn the eventual fate of all of the kidnapping (and murder, of course) victims.  From giant sharks to brains in jars, that’s what I like about this series.  It’s all class, all the time.

The climax of the arc also gives us a surprising bit of insght into Tsuru’s life-long quest to discover the story behind his wife’s death. He can now close that case.

We spend a bit of time with the murderer, and then turn our eyes to a new arc, full of murderers. Like I said, all class. This particular arc brings back some old friends, again, and a whole new crowd of creepy dudes who Kuroko will be better at everything than, despite their lifetime of pursuit martial arts. Woops.

Much more importantly, Kuroko and Chiyo get to have ugly lesbian sex! Like I said, all class, all the time.

I am kind of looking forward to a new yakuza-focused arc. They always have the most satisfying fights. Needs more sniper Reiko.
