Heh. |
At least the manipulation is accompanied by colourful scenes when Chitanda the HYPNOTOAD is doing it
. He does tend to get manipulated quite a bit. Kind of funny that you see him getting used often, but in this episode it just felt worse than usual. Maybe because it was kind of isolating him. Using Irisu's own example; I think while the talented player saying it was only luck hurts the bench players, not reminding the person that they couldn't have done it without the team is just as bad. She may have just wanted Houtarou on this mystery instead of the Classics Club, but in the end it will be the Classics Club itself that solves this mystery.
