Both Lunge and Eva are very interesting to me. I'd like to see there characters explored further. Can't wait to see what role they have to play in the big picture. The show has been pretty good uptil now.

Wow, Lunge is a badass at work and with his life, even when his wife says that she had an affair and his daughter is pregnant he doesn't gife a fuck, he's only interested in Tenma.
Eva is crazy, it seems that she was going to give the gardner a chance but she wasn't lucky.

what's with all these women in this anime? They're all fucking awful.
And why would that dude be interested in that bitch (Eva) anyway? And why would he take that whore of a wife back?

I don't get it.. so many pathetic characters. Just show us Tenma again, thanks.

If one word comes to mind for a summary of this episode is cheating galore! XD

Damn, Lunge life & work life came crashing really hard...

I’m not defending Heinrich (he didn’t paid attention to her family and that is a no no in my book) but I never understand this kind of situations… if you are in a relationship and it is not going well broke it off, and then search for a loved one once again… but having an affair because the person who is in a relationship with you doesn’t paid attention to you makes you the same awful person as the one who did the neglecting.

If Eva is going to blame someone she needs to blame herself... she didn’t support Tenma and turn him down at a crucial momment (when she let go of the promise ring) and now she turned down the gardener (he was interested in her and was trying to make her happy) but she could not see that in time thus when the wife returned (by the way this woman was having an affair too) he forgives her and accept her back into his household therefore getting her happy end ruined...

Awww, Lunge :(
I don't know whether I should feel bad for him or people around him

Is that just me or did I heart someone's heart break into pieces?
Eva bitch, serve you right(ざまをみろ)
Go back to Black Lagoon! xD

Oh that was a nice one episode backstory of our "villains"?

The one thing I realised from watching this anime is if you want to be dedicated to your work you should stay away from marriage. It's better that way. Better than dealing with the pain that your wife/husband left you for someone else.

And I think they should make Eva a true sister of johan. They both f*cked Tenma's life up.

Really good episode. Say whatever you want about Eva but she's a very interesting and complex character. I felt sympathy for her when she got that present lol. That being said, she really needs to get in touch with her feelings.
It was cool to see some more scenes focused on Lunge too. Seems like those two are gonna make a squad

Well, this ep did the great work of proving that not all women are saints.

True that.


We start with a prostitute who has slept for many wealthy men just for a contract, and then move on to Eva, who has still not recovered even after 10 years and sleeping with countless more people than Barney Stinson.

Meanwhile, it seems that Lunge-san has trouble on his own end. But he shrugs it off like a badass. His wife becomes a loser by sleeping with another man and his daughter gets all knocked up by another loser. They prepare to leave and try to demand him whether he knew about it all along but my boy Lunge doesn't even leave them with a shred of mercy.



However, it seems that not all men think with their brains as it seems. Gardener guy lusts after Eva, due to some M fetish of his, and also tends to her gardens later on(if you know what I mean). He also just hits back at Eva and directly exposes what she is doing. Nice dumping her.

However it seems that he is also a bit foolish because he accepts his loser of a wife who just got dumped on Christmas Eve.(Such relationships do not last). Charlotte is no different from Eva and nothing you say will make me change otherwise. Also it seems that his daughter is no less of a jerk than Eva, considering she badmouths her own father instead of his mom who left her for some guy. I think Lunge dodged 2 bullets here, which the gardener didn't.

Well, good luck gardener. Not only are you now out of a job just because you pissed off Eva, but now due to your carefree attitude, your wife is just gonna dump you all over again. However, none of that matters anymore.

For now, i am all rooting for Lunge and not a shred of empathy to Eva. She did only 2 noble things this episode.

  1. She ensured that her lover would get exposed. Apparently she has been doing this for a long time, so it is good that the guys get what they deserve for cheating on their wives.
  2. She brought a Christmas gift for the gardener's family. The sentiment is appreciated.

Overall, this episode has been the funniest one to date. I couldn't stop laughing myself when Tenma threatens the secretary and also when he dumps his family. Also equally hilarious is the moment when Eva is dumped by her gardener and she sets her house on fire. Man, karma does bite you back.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Eva is the worst kind of character. Not only is she totally awful and evil, she's also incredibly uninteresting and boring. I hope someone kills her soon.

Another great episode and I really appreciate the thorough characterization presented here.

Lunge is so devoted to his work, calling him a workaholic might be an understatement.

Eva is as self centered as ever, a person that doesn't care about the feelings of others at all. She can try to pretend otherwise with something as mundane as a present, but as soon as things won't go her way she immediately snaps. Admittedly, she was already at the edge of a total fallout, but the gardener gave her the rest.

In a way I feel sorry for her, tho. This episode also showed us her vulnerable and helpless side. There might have been a chance for her to redeem herself as unlikely as it may be, but things turned out very unfortunate for her.

I'm definitely super interested to see more of her and Lunge as well.

Wow, I didn't expect to get into the life of Lunge like that. I feel there's a lot of potential for growth now that was completely non existent before.

Eva completed flipped her shit. It was pretty brutal (and convenient) that gardeners wife would come back right as Eva was on her way over. Kinda sucks, but I guess they wanted some reason to really make Eva go nuts.

The gardener was so lame. Really, wasn't it clear enough that Eva had no feelings for him? Good that his wife came back though.

A twist I was not expecting: Lunge has just lost his job. I still don't feel sympathy for the guy: ignores his family, workaholic...

I liked how Lunge uses checkmate style of interrogation instead of violence.

So.....Lunge mostly didn't give a damn about anything except his job. Thankfully, Johan didn't pay a visit to his family. Oh, wait Lunge would probably adopt Johan and ignore him, lol.

Well Eva and Lunge could get along and cover each others hole....

ooof. Lunge!

woah, Eva had it bad.. felt bad for her and her gardener. Setting her garden and house on fire, so much self-destruction... tch. But this only makes me more excited about what she'll do in the upcoming episodes. She badly humiliated both Tenma and her gardener when they were all 'yes madam', and when they turn away either through circumstances or wilfully, she is left frustrated.

For a moment, I felt bad for Eva... but it's karma for her. She took away the chance for Tenma to be happy in a relationship, so she got a taste of her own medicine.

Welp, Lunge got fired and Eva burned her mansion down.

The latter is really lonely and unhappy. It's like, you can be rich and fine as hell (physically any way) and still not be fulfilled. Bitch, ride a jet ski if you're not happy, lol. All she does is get drunk and sleep around (not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's in an attempt to fill a void). Again, she lost the only man who truly cared about her. So I guess she wants to make Dr. Tenma's life a living h*ck if she can't be with him any more.

Lunge has always been eccentric since the start so now I wonder what he's going to do

This is probably one of the best episodes in the series for me. It really sheds new light on our characters in a way that hasn't been done up until now. Eva is just a hurt woman who is afraid. The end of the episode melts your heart just watching it. And I don't know about anybody else, but Runge is my guy! But dammit, he's so cold towards his wife and child.

I feel bad for Lunge for losing his family and his position. But I’m not really impressed with his skills. Though he is really dedicated to his job, it seems like he just works out on what is presented to him and doesn’t think outside of it. His obsession with Tenma as the suspect says it all, he even suspected him to have a dissociative disorder, that Johan is just Tenma as well. He really didn’t check if Johan is real or not? I hope his skills will get better in the next few episodes or he will just a poor written character.

And I heard MADAO from Gintama lol I can’t help but laugh even though the scene were serious XD

This episode made me love monster even more. Pretty much half an episode was only focused on Lunge who at first looked like very mysterious character, It’s really hard to believe he even had a family in the first place.But now that we know so much more about him he can finally be viewed differently.

As for the Eva part, well shes one unstable woman. Good thing she never entered the gardeners house to ruin christmas for everyone else.

I find Runge to be a very fascinating character, although he is a crappy father and husband, he's still pretty likable as he was devoted to his job and seemed to be the only one in his firm that actually cared about solving the cases. Eva, where the hell do we start with Eva? It's clear as day she still has feelings for Tenma and I see her committing suicide in the near future, she got what she deserved with the gardener there. She was talking about the gardener not being good enough for her, bitch get outta here you ain't good enough for the gardener...

I have to admit I felt a little bad for Eva seeing the family in the window....a little. Then it went away because shes such a spoiled child turned psycho.

And it didn't even phase Lunge that his family left him...I don't know what to make of that at the moment.
