I'm really bad and going back and doing AFK recaps >_>

Disgaea 2-2 saw tensions escalate as Rozalin is conflicted between her duty to her father and her feelings for Adell. Also Tink is here now. ....I dunno I'm kinda enjoying it. The plot has room to breathe and the characters have room to develop! Disgaea 2 just made it past one round of a STEAM BATTLE in the Tompic (cross-promotion!!) so maybe I'll see where all this goes.

A new challenger appeared as I finally bit the bullet on Case Closed 1. I already had an idea what to expect after picking up volume 60-something randomly, and it didn't disappoint. The mystery manga I've been wanting! I was not close on either of the mysteries presented. Expect a slow trickle of further volumes over the next few years (which is probably how long it's gonna take me to finish this project >_>)

I have already started a bit of the next one, but we'll join it in progress.

If I'm remembering right, this came into my awareness through the Rising Stars of Manga, which was a thing I was into for a while. (spoilers for like two years from now when I get to R) It takes place in the vaguely dystopian amusement park Happyplace, where everybody seems to be known only by their job title, or by their character name if they're a mascot. All sorts of shady stuff is going on- rival park Illusion Valley is raiding the place, and our main character's love interest has been murdered. (probably) Dogby is ON THE CASE, going full film-noir while running around in a mascot costume and never showing his face. His sidekick is Snack Girl. But now he has been CAPTURED.

We get a trippy sequence where Dogby meets Princess (the murdered girl) and she warns him not to take the shoe, because he'll solve the case but somebody else will die and he won't like it. But it's just a dream, as Snack Girl and another guy whose name I don't remember (he looks like the stork from Vlasic pickles so I'm calling him Vlasic until informed otherwise) find Dogby's unconscious body and wake him up.

Dogby confronts a guy in a hotel room. He got fired and banned from the park for stealing, as one of several apparent victims of Princess's games, and now he has burned through his life savings just to stay nearby. He didn't kill her, though.

Meanwhile, our buddy Shift Supervisor has been implicated as ringleader of the recent heists, by questionable security footage! Dogby is on the footage as well, and security moves to get him. Our frenemy Catty-Kit makes the save, taking an M. Bison-style beating from the head of security so Dogby can escape. He makes his getaway in one of those little kiddy cars that go around tracks, complete with excited kid passenger. One of the best car chases I've ever seen ensues, but they get him in the end. Security tranqs Dogby, the kid, and several innocent bystanders. Upper Management Guy is worried about cryptic villain stuff.

The chapter breaks are pretty great- one was done up like a comic cover, one like an arcade cabinet, and this one is MGS.
