Objectively the best episode of 9-nine (so far at least). With a better focus on action, story and featuring arguably the best romance development out of the other two heroines explored, Episode 3 proves that the series is improving and shaping up for a great finale. The twists coupled with greater stakes make up a very compelling read, I'm also glad to see Haruka finally have her time to shine. The next episode sounds very interesting based off of a certain development near the end. Looking forward to reading it.

It's the best episode in 9-nine yet. 9-nine is the gift that keeps on giving, it just keeps getting better every episode! This one was a little longer than Sora's, but had better action, suspense, and of course, Haruka. I can say confidently that Haruka has become my favorite girl in the series, and her circumstances are really interesting. Of course, she really shines here, with plenty of focused development and great SoL scenes that make you really appreciate her. She's just the best, not much else to say. I really love Haruka. One thing I really appreciate about 9-nine which we will have to see if Criminal Border is the same, but man does it have a great balance between fun SoL scenes, serious moments, and action. It's a great formula that keeps you hooked. Of course the art is great, with the addition of a few new tracks makes this game undisputedly the best so far. Wonderful H scenes that were really damn good... I had a TON of fun reading this. I can't wait to read the next.

To my fellow Sora enjoyers: you already know that nothing will beat Episode 2. In Episode 3, Sora is still as funny and cute as ever, although sadly you won't be performing any ... societal taboos ... with her in this episode. That being said, Ghost really picks up a lot of the slack. Takamine (the redhead guy) is also a lot more entertaining this time around.
