Review of Hyouka

I binged watched this because I was curious. And you will definitely be curious if you give it a try. Just keep in mind that this is no romance anime though and is clearly a type of "slice of high school life" with a strong mystery vibes imbued inside the story. That just means the main characters of the Classics Club are solving some mysteries in their every day life as part of the subplot (and other mysteries too as part of their daily encounters). What is most interesting is the character development progress of this innocent students towards their relationships while the story telling isinside those subplots. But the way they also included the elements of romance was like putting the cherry on top of the cake. It flows very natural with such charming innocence episode by episode. The colors, the flow of the story, the harmonious music mixed inside, and the developing interactions keeps everything in this anime as a top notch story. The only reason I am not giving this a 10, is because sometimes I feel they abuse with the monologues, but is a necessary sin because of the mystery genre's essence, (someone have to explain what's going on inside the puzzles).
