Hikaru in the Light / My Dear Detective: Mitsuko’s Case Files / Spear

White Sox record free agent signing, Andrew Benintendi, is about 25 percent below average in terms of OPS+ and that's just not good. He likely won't be that bad forever, but come on.

This episode, we're talking about Mai Matsuda's Hikari in the Light, Natsumi Ito's My Dear Detective: Mitsuko’s Case Files, and Chiharu Shinagawa's Spear, all published by Azuki.
