Diamond Head Vol. 3

Summary:

A fight broke out between 2 classmates and it was requested that the judiciary club take care of things. The plaintiff Hase Mamoru was punched by Ishigami Yuuji after insulting him and his handicapped brother. Ishigami was pronounced guilty by Leica with the reasoning that revenge can never be an excuse for justice. In anger, Ishigami tried to stab Leica with a knife, but did not succeed because Setsu intervened and got hurt instead. Hase who was standing by the bylines continued to insult Ishigami, but angered Leica who himself gave Hase another punch! After court was adjourned, Setsu was told to go the hospital but refused. Mizuki (the girl who had a crushed on Setsu but was refused) whispered to him that her family owns a private hospital and he can go there if he wants to, since they will keep any medical records secret. Setsu agreed and went off with her.

For the next case, Nanao was chosen to defend a girl who was accused of stalking this guy (the girl just has a crush on him that went to an extreme case). Nanao has a personal link to this case as she felt that the girl’s problem mirrors her own, since Nanao is in love with Leica and also always watch him. The case ended with her loss in the case. This made Nanao mad at Leica for judging thus, because she felt he couldn’t understand her feelings (or the feelings of a girl in love).

The club got even busier as well as popular. Leica always refused to join in the group’s discussion and went off early, giving excuses that he has things to do. He was then shown buying a music box. Setsu, who looks a little sick, also left together with Mizuki, much to Nanao’s surprise. The rest of the gang went off to Kirihiko’s house to discuss their cases. There, Nanao found an old photo of Leica and a girl who looks like his sister, but it turns out to be his girlfriend from 4 years ago. But it seems that they are “still together” eventhough she is no longer attending Mehabia High. Katsuma asked mysteriously whether Nanao wishes to know where that girl is now. Leica walk into a hospital room. The girl from the photo was lying on the bed, unconscious. Today is her birthday and the music box was his present to her. Elsewhere, Mizuki got up from the bed to put on her clothes while some music played on the background. She asked Setsu who was still lying in the bed what song it is. He just replied “Today is her birthday”. Leica hugging the girl, said, “Everyday I pray to live with Reika, and to die with Reika.” That night, while walking Nanao home, Katsuma warns her that Leica would never love anybody else again, and that she should just give up on him.

The student president, jealous of the judiciary club’s popularity decided to sue Leica for being an unsuitable judge. Leica accepted the lawsuit and said that he doesn’t care whether he wins or loses. This made Nanao mad, and she demands an explanation. The only reasons Leica became a judge was because Kirihiko asked him to, and also because “she” wanted to be a judge.


Review:

Hmm, quite a lot of mysteries regarding Setsu and also Leica. Nothing much was revealed here. In my opinion, Nanao quite failed for her first time defending the stalker girl. She allows her own personal feelings to interfere with her job. Leica was quite right in his verdict for that case.

The case with Leica & Reika is quite creepy, especially with how they resemble each other. This reminds me of what my friend had previously mentioned: couples will look and act more like each other the longer they’re together. I wonder if this is the case for all couples?? Hmm... something to ponder on.
