Synopsis: “When Akira Uehara, overlooked because he doesn’t open his mouth, and Nanako Momo, looked over until she opens her mouth, switch bodies, they find their new selves surprisingly comfortable. Unfortunately, they’re not the only ones. Akira and Nanako’s pre-swap best friends are no drawn to them post-op. And they want to spend the night! Akira and Nanako will have to do more than just tango in this of Your & My Secret!”

Akira continues to struggle with his new life as a girl in Nanako’s body and yet as each day passes, he becomes more and more accustomed to it (maybe even more than being guy originally). His pre-change best friend, Senbongi, continues to hit on him relentlessly but Akira can’t help but find himself attracted to his ‘new’ best friend, Nanako’s friend, Shiina. Throw these jumbled feelings into an overnight beach trip and Valentine’s Day and you’ve got yourself the second volume of Your & My Secret.

Synopsis: “Haruka and Masato’s episodes with Detective Taro Suzuki continue! To Haruka’s dismay, the gang must track down a cat burglar… that is actually of the feline persuasion. Next, Haruka, Masato and Suzuki are asked to solve a series of murders superstitiously linked to a cursed wisteria tree. But after that, mystery hits very close to home as Haruka’s mom finds a lover letter written by Haruka’s dad- to another woman!”

There are haunted drama rooms, wisteria spirits and a perhaps not-so-healthy dose of murders in this third volume of Kamen Tantei. Haruka and Masato, known by their penname, Taro Suzuki, continue to find inspiration for their mystery-writing career in everyday life, and as usual, there’s no shortage of crimes and strange phenomena that need solving by the two intrepid sleuths.
