You would expect people to wonder, why her and Hiromi even are at the crime scene in the first place. I also don't understand, why people always tell Lili the victim's birthday. I don't know.for me it just gets a little boring reading this same formula over and over again. Oh, and Hiromi never gets any credit for his discoveries. She then turns into Spica and reveals what happened and why. Hiromi gives Lili some useful clue and - BAM -suddenly Lili knows who the criminal is. Lili finds out the victim's birthday and summons her little zodiac helpers. Lili's father, who works for the police, appears at the crime scene and gets nothing useful done. Lili starts investigating with the help of Hiromi (her childhood friend). I feel like every mystery follows the same formula.

Or actually it's possible to guess who the criminal is, but it's impossible to figure out how or why the crime was committed. Most of the time it's impossible to guess the criminal because not enough clues are revealed for the reader. The thing that bothers me the most about this story is that the mysteries are so.boring. During the day Lili is a school girl known for her fortune telling ability and at night she is a detective called Spica, who solves crimes with the help of zodiac characters she's able summon. The premise is promising - a girl who leads a double life. I loved Kitchen Princess, so I was hoping this would be as good as that one. I expected this manga to be a little better than what it was.
