...how is he controlled through the pacemaker, though? I'm trying to think, best I can come up with is maybe it starts acting up, then he gets a call, and the culprit blackmails him.
This feels like it's taking a lot of inspiration from Deathnote, and the "L"-like investigators gathered WAY too much information way too quickly. It's disappointing actually. I hope the series improves and doesn't just become a Deathnote rewritten, which wouldn't be entirely bad if done well but the investigators are starting to feel overpowered in their intuition and intellect.
yes, I feel it is the same, but its not a bad thing really. I guess it is common sense, even I would think it would be some eletrical human after the information. I guess we will have to see what kind of investigators they are.

Yeah, it really needs some suspension of disbelief from my side. More so than Death Note just for the fast pace as mentioned. (The similarities to L (looking at art style) are super-liminal, I would rather say it is a friendly nod than coincidence). At this point I just accepted those have super-human minds, because drug-ritual-arcade-reasons.
But overall I like what the story wants to do. Imo having the idol be in the loop that soon also hurts, but maybe it works out.
Just over all, a slower pace feels like it would have done a lot of good but who knows if it will crash at fast pace or be pretty good.
I don't even know where this came from and a reason for this short pace might be that the author never expected a longer run?
