Story this time around revolved around Shioriko's friend Shida who also owned a bookstore and had lived in the back of her store for some time now. Shida had a book stolen from him or was it perhaps an accident, one day a teenage female HS student knocked over his bike which he had some books stored on it, she ended up taking one of them but the question was why and was it on purpose? The book in question was not an expensive one and was easy enough to find but had much sentimental value to Shida but through Shioriko's cunning ways she was able to deduce much of what happened and why the girl took the book. Seems as though the girl was a love struck teen who needed the red ribbon attached to the book to wrap a present for a boy who eventually turned her down quite coldly, story at this point really went downhill as they had figured out halfway through the show what happened but this episode for the second half was pretty much of a sappy story and really uninteresting, couldn't wait for it to be over. Still was watchable but if you've seen the first episode then you'd see too how much this show pales in comparison, hopefully it was just a one time deal, hard for any series to every episode a real winner so this drama has plenty of time to get back on track, just need the stories to be a bit more interesting. Have some screenshots here of Ayame from this episode, she was fine but then again she always is, really can never remember doing anything but a superb job in all her dramas.
