with great power comes great responsibility! Shinichi is just our friendly neighborhood parasite :) Migi and Parasite talking together was really funny xD Tamiya/Tamura still the most fascinating character :) also love Migi being all rational and logical with that investigator :) we got deep into some biology and philosophy here :) very intriguing ending, Shinichi is embracing the inner parasite :P

It's interesting you say that the men are all lying and the women can see right through them. I disagree. There's a difference between lying and not being fully open. The private investigator has a duty of discretion. He can't tell his wife what he's working on and she should know that without having to be told, but she's trying to manipulate him into breaking his PI's oath, or whatever it is, and get him to spill the beans. She does know he's lying but she also knows it's part of his job and she should have enough respect and trust to let it be. If she can't cope with it and doesn't have the respect for him that he deserves she shouldn't be in the marriage. Our mc's girlfriend, likewise, is fully aware her boyfriend is going through something he's not ready to talk about with her. I understand that she's worried about him and I wish he would talk to her but he has very good reasons for not doing so - for one, the last person he told died in his arms 24 hours later. I don't know if she is aware his mother died but she's definitely aware that Kana died and that he was the one who found her body, and she's aware of the massacre that happened at the school and that he had to go rushing off to some island because his dad nearly died a month ago. She doesn't know everything but surely she knows enough to be able to respect the fact that he's going through some stuff and he's clearly not ready to talk about it. She should just be supportive and give him the time he needs but instead she's being selfish and trying to manipulate him into having a conversation he's not ready to have. Everyone's grieving process is different. If she manipulates him into opening up before he's ready he will end up losing his trust in her and resenting her for it. The females simply seem to have zero respect for the males and are acting out of selfishness and jealousy, even if it might be said to come from a good place. They need to to do some serious growing up and take a look at the bigger picture. Do they trust their respective partners? If yes, stop trying to manipulate them all the time. If no, get out of the relationship.

really aprrecite commentary on 10:00. new perspectives are fun,

Subaru

It's been 8 months since you wrote the comment, but regardless of that, I have to say I disagree. First off, regarding the detective and his oath to confidentiality. Sure, he's not allowed to talk about his job or reveal any details that can give information about the job, but he can still talk with her about his mental state. Like "I've been having a hard time lately", or even just tell her about how he feels. They're married, and they're supposed to support one another. You can't do that by withholding information or blatantly lying to your significant other. You can try to villainize her actions by calling it manipulative, but she simply cares for him. Second, regarding Murano and Shinichi. She cares for him. Sure, we know Shinichi's perspective and that he's withholding information from her to keep her safe, but think about her viewpoint. Her crush suddenly became cold and distant, and his personality, looks and attitude went through a major change. Sure, Shinichi is being distant and needs time to grieve, but it's been like 9months since his dad got injured on his trip. She's been incredibly patient, but she doesn't know what happened to his mom. Whenever she tries to bring it up, he avoids the topic. Sure, you can argue that he doesn't owe her an explanation, but if you want to grow close to someone, you need to be able to be vulnerable with them, and communicate with them. Keeping secrets and lying, of course she'll get upset with him, and rightfully so. I absolutely love Shinichi as a character, but that doesn't always mean he's right and she's wrong. The women in this anime are showing concern. I disagree with the statement that they're immature and manipulative.
