After waiting for what feels like forever, I finally broke down and made a video about Mystery to Iunakare. This is meant to talk about the series in general, as well as act as a recommendation to anyone interested in listening. This is the first time I’ve ever tried to write or make a video about something like this before, so thank you very much if you decide to take a listen!

Chapter Markers:
00:00 Intro
00:54 Yumi Tamura
01:15 Awards & Nominations
01:56 Sales in Japan
03:15 What Is Mystery to Iunakare About?
04:33 How This Series Came to Be
05:50 What Makes Totonou Such an Interesting Protagonist
11:47 Why Isn’t This Series Licensed in English Yet?
14:48 Final Point / Who This Series Is For

EDIT: I realized afterward that it is a different part where Totonou mentions needing to hurry up for his salon appointment. He was actually trying to make it to an art museum exhibit when the bus hijacking happened.

  1. I found this manga after someone on tik tok made a video comparing this to another manga that got an anime adapted this winter (talking about how underrated this is). And my god this manga is great I can't believe this isn't more popular outside of Japan. I read the first chapter and couldn't believe I read that much text in just a short amount of time. Usually I tend to skip heavy dialogue in manga cause it's boring to me but in here its so captivating and intriguing. I love the topics the manga explores. It is pretty sad how underappreciated the manga is in the western community . And the fact it's not even licensed in English is saddening to say the least. I really hope it gets licensed soon. I also really enjoyed your video and it's nice to see that theres others who know about this great manga.

  2. Omg. I love this manga. It's really beautiful and the drama is also great which seems to be getting some love. I wish more of the manga was translated. I can see it being in my top 5 manga. The mangaka is really good. 7 seeds being solid and basara is also amazing in its own way

  3. Thank you so much for this video.
    I discover this serie by accident by searching mystery mangas, and since then i have become in love with the series, its just so great, it deserves more recongnition in the west.
    Also your way of talking in the video its really nice, i like your voice.

  4. THANK YOU- i really wish more english speaking people joined the fandom :(( also i need to know if i’m the only one who ships totonou and garo 🥶 they’re so 💅💅😀 also some fanfic writers are needed for this fandom tyvm 🕳🏃🏻‍♀️
